In order to beat the shift, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira claims he’s going to do the previously unfathomable: bunt.

“I’ve been so against it my entire career, but I might lay down a few bunts,” Teixeira conceded Tuesday night. “If I can beat the shift that way, that’s important. “
Teixeira hit just .191 this season as a left-handed hitter with no men on, according to Mark Simon from ESPN Stats & Info. So clearly, he’s going to have to make some changes.

It's amazing how one defensive alignment can make $180M look impotent. I'm already having flashbacks to Jason Giambi when the opposition would shift for him as well.

Improving how to bunt is a start, a skilled hitter should be able to go opposite field. It's not like Tex needs to hit a line shot but a check swing would do it....baffling.

I hope the Yankees are not going to pay his big contract so he can bunt.
