Who is better Mark Teixeira or Alex Rodriguez?
In regards to defense, comparing Mark Teixeira and Alex
Rodriguez is a bit like comparing apples to oranges simply because
they play very different positions. I think it is safe to say that
each is very, very good at his position. In regards to offense,
it's incredibly hard to make a distinction there since Rodriguez
has 18 years as a professional to Teixeira's 9 years as a
professional. Both have incredible numbers and each has received
quite a few awards for his contributions to the game but in order
to make a good comparison, the playing field needs to be a little
more even (basically, give Teixeira a few more years and see how
his numbers do in comparison to Rodriguez' numbers).
