Don’t Give Up On Tex Yet

So I took a look at the numbers, and while Teixeira may be having a subpar season so far, there is still a chance he can turn it around. If Tex goes on to hit at the exact pace he did last year from June 19, 2009 – the end of the 2009 season, his numbers don’t look as bad :

94 Games from 2009 + 67 games from 2010
729 PA
628 AB
168 H
38 2B
3 3B
29 HR
105 RBI
86 BB
.268/.348/.476/.824

Sure, it’d be an off year for him. But it wouldn’t be the Rico Bergman-like numbers he’s putting up now. You should also keep in mind that this excludes Tex’s hottest streak of the season, which was from May 2, 2009 – May 31, 2009. Since we know he is capable of an outstanding month like that, lets take a look at Tex’s current numbers and add in that hot streak :

26 Games from 2009 + 67 Games from 2010
425 PA
357 AB
96H
22 2B
0 3B
23 HR
72 RBI
49 BB
.269/.341/.524/.865

If Tex goes on a tear like that for the next 26 games, he’d put himself in a pretty good position to finish the final two plus months of the year with his usual numbers. Hopefully this isn’t “just a different year”, and Tex can live up up to his annual numbers.
