I could make a better argument on why he should play in Anaheim:

Because he grew up in the south and played in places (Texas and Atlanta) where baseball is the No. 2 sport, he’s used to a laid-back lifestyle. Teixeira has said many times how he enjoyed playing in Atlanta because he and his wife could go out and not be bothered.

If he went to Boston, he’d be under a microscope all the time. The Chowds are crazy about their Sox and he’d be getting death threats if he went into a prolonged slump.

Yes, Boston has won more titles than the Angels in the past 10 years. But why does that make Boston a destination spot when there are about 3-5 other cities where a Mark Teixeira could go and help them win one?

And is Teixeira willing to sacrifice his privacy to win another?
