Mark Teixeira's slow starts have been well documented. After going hit-less in the opening series in Boston (0-12). Mark and ever working Kevin Long decided to spend the off day at the minor league complex in Tampa, before beginning a three game set with the Rays. Here are some quotes from Tex via
Andrew Marchand over at espnnewyork.com:
"Days off for me as a switch-hitter -- getting off to a slow start -- aren't very good," Teixeira said.
"My left-handed swing isn't where it needs to be right now,"
Not that I didn't expect this from Tex. He is a very hard worker and given what we know about Kevin Long's work ethic I'd be surprised if he ever even sleeps. Good to see Tex isn't getting complacent after a dynamite first season and world series victory.
