  • Teixeira changing approach: Mark Teixeira has finally had enough. After seeing poor results from trying to put the baseball in play more frequently, Teixeira told reporters he is going back to swinging for the fences. “I’m putting too many balls in play instead of taking that swing to hit a home run and drive the ball,” Teixeira said, per The Journal News. “I’ve never been someone who just wants to put the ball in play. In years past, a 1-0 or a 2-0 pitch, it’s maybe a little bit up or a little bit down, you swing and you foul it off or you swing and miss. Now I’m putting that ball in play, which (stinks). I go back to (hitting coach) Kevin Long and I say, ‘Why couldn’t I just foul that ball off?’ It’s unfortunate. Baseball is such a fine line between having a good at-bat and hitting the ball hard or making an out. While last year 39 home runs but a low batting average wasn’t good enough, I think I’d rather hit 39 home runs than 20 or 15. I think I’d rather drive in 111 runs than 80. So I’m going to be more aggressive.”

    Fantasy Analysis
    Do you hear that? That noise is the cheers coming from Fantasy owners around the country rejoicing over Teixeira's plan to be more aggressive at the plate. The veteran slugger is usually a slow starter, but it seems this year's slow start was because of his altered plate approach. Now that Teixeira plans to go back to swinging for the fences, maybe his numbers will return to what we would expect. Teixeira was moved back into the third spot in the lineup Wednesday against the Royals after spending two games batting seventh. He went 0 for 2, but he walked three times, produced an RBI and scored twice. Teixeira's numbers might be a little disappointing to date, but he is still worth starting in all Fantasy formats because of his ability to get hot at moment's notice.
