When Mark Teixeira learned he would play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, he placed a call to Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long. He hoped to marry a pair of pursuits: To represent his country well, and to extinguish his lengthy string of slow starts.
“Let’s not build up to Opening Day,” Teixeira said, when explaining his message to Long. “Let’s build up to the WBC. Let’s build up to the first of March.”
In anticipation, the world has strategically positioned itself.

I would like to think that playing in this stupid ass tournament could serve two purposes, first it could help him start going the other way & stop hitting into that fucking shift and two it could get him off to a decent start since he tends to take oh until fucking July to actually make contact with a baseball consistently.
