Tex is a second half player. If I root for a team in need of a superstar for half a season, I trade from him at the All Star Break and know he's going to be the MVP.

That isn't a dis, he's on the perfect team for his talents. A-Rod, Jeter, Cano, Posada, Granderson, etc pick up for him during the first half, he ends with a decent average, hr total, rbi total etc, 5 WS titles, TaDa! he becomes a HOF
