"Teixeira sat out Monday?s game and told Brendan Kuty of the Newark Star Ledger that the pain in his wrist was ?ratcheted up, definitely.? Kuty reports that it?s the first time Teixeira has felt pain like that since spring training and he?ll probably sit out at least the next two games as the Yankees play it safe about 10 months after his initial surgery last year."

I'll bet that his wrist will be bothersome all season, and he might even have to go on the 15-day DL at least, and maybe more than once or twice. Since he is a 1B, he competes with Miggy for votes to start in the ASG. Have to think that he may have to skip the game. either by choice or by need, and regardless if he gets more votes from Yankees homers to start over Cabrera.
If so, then this perhaps leaves Pujols as Cabrera's closest competitor fan vote-wise, who is hitting over 50 points lower than Miggy, but with twice as many homers.
