Plaschke Hurls A Meatball Over The Plate On Teixeira
We all, by now, know the reasons the Angels really should sign Mark Teixeira, and chief among them is the fact that he's offensively anti-Angels Way insofar as we understand it today — and that this is a good thing. There simply isn't that much, therefore, to say in response to today's Bill Plaschke piece advocating the at-any-costs re-signing of the businesslike Teixeira; for once, Plaschke has managed to get the main theme right. But —
If Teixeira walks, so does a chunk of Moreno's Angels mystique, as if he suddenly announced he were doubling beer prices.Except that... one of my principle criticisms of him was that he failed to get any extra-base hits in the postseason. Even when he manages to get something right, Plaschke still misses important pieces of the picture.Moreno needs this. Scioscia needs this. The Angels need this.
All winter, Angels fans have been burdened with the memory of a failed suicide squeeze.
Sign Teixeira, and replace it with a homer.
Comments:
The whole series showed Howie Kendrick can't play second base, period. Oh, wait... it's a small sample size?
