[quote][/There are some Yankees who wonder if the same syndrome is starting to affect Teixeira. His numerous business interests are well-known -- he spoke of many of them in a 2013 Fortune magazine article -- and last year, displayed a genuine flair for comedy in the "Foul Territory" segments he did for the YES network, in which he played himself as a bumbling TV interviewer. He has appeared on TV ("Entourage") and in a Broadway show, and acting may be one of his post-baseball aspirations. quote]

this guy is a joke who doesn't take the game seriously....180 million, what a waste

I didn't like this signing from the start. Never pay that much for a 1B, I don't care how good his defense was. And just to show that I'm not just saying that now, I actually didn't think the ARod mega contract was that bad (at the time).

Too many surgeries and ailments are what did Tex in. He benefited from A-rod in the line up.
