Some might look at Mark Teixeira's time with the New York Yankees and call him a dud, noting that the eight-year, $180 million deal that he signed in December 2008 resulted in only one World Series title. But you can't argue with the man when he says that he "gave [Yankees fans] everything [he] had," as he did at the press conference announcing his retirement at season's end.
He left it all on the field, and that alone makes Tex's career in the Bronx anything but a dud. While we might be able to say the same thing about the players who occupy this week's All-Dud Team when their careers come to an end, some have quite a ways to go before we reach that point.
For others, the end is near, and weeks like the one he had in Week 18 will have been forgotten when he leaves the field for the last time. But I digress.
We've picked 10 players—one per position, including a designated hitter and starting pitcher—who have put together forgettable performances over the past seven days. Teixeira isn't one of them. Can you figure out who is?
Let's find out if you're right.
