Teixeira Hits Long Double
Braves 1B Mark Teixeira connected for a crucial double in the top of the ninth inning Sunday at Washington, and the ball just missed clearing the fence in deep right-center for a home run. He finished the game 1-for-4 with a strikeout. Teixeira is historically a slow starter, and the trend continued this spring as he hit only .211. However, he has the potential to hit .300 with 40 home runs over the course of a season, so stick with him if he starts slowly again in 2008. (CBS Sports)
