Is Tex a $200M player?

From Stark's column:
==========
But how much is Teixeira worth? If Scott Boras is serious about
establishing a 10-year, $230 million price tag on Teixeira, he won't
have many bidders to play the Yankees against. Most teams view him as a
five-year, $90 million kind of guy.

"What really stands out, when you've got Vlad and Teixeira back-to-back
in the same lineup, is what he isn't," an official of one club said.
"Let's put it this way: I know which one I fear, and it isn't him. To
me, when you see truly great players, they always have that extra edge,
that killer instinct. Well, if this guy has it, he doesn't project it.
Hey, he's a good player, obviously. But is he a guy who's going to
legitimately carry a club for the money he's asking? I don't see that."

Yup, I agree. BTW, they are looking for you at the coffee shop.
