TAMPA, Fla. --

    Mark Teixeira is just days away from rejoining Alex Rodriguez as a teammate

for the second time, but the new Yankees first baseman has already pledged his

support for the embattled superstar.



    Teixeira said Wednesday at Georgia Tech that Rodriguez "has my 100 percent

support,"the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Teixeira and Rodriguez were

teammates on the 2003 Texas Rangers,when A-Rod tested positive for testosterone

and Primobolan while winning his first American League MVP Award.



    "I know he's going through a rough time right now, and I think his apology

said it all," Teixeira said. "He's disappointed in himself, he made a mistake

and we're all going to move on ...I'm just going to open up my arms, give him

a big hug, tell him I love him and we're going to get through this."


    Teixeira,who appeared at his alma mater pledging$500,000 to endow an annual

Yellow Jackets scholarship,said that he was not surprised by ARod's admission.



   "I've been around long enough to not really be shocked by anything,"he said.

"This is a sport that's had some troubles, there's no doubt. I'm not going to

judge anybody.



"I've never touched steroids or any of those kinds of things -- it's something

I feel very strongly about -- but at the same time I've made mistakes, I'm not

perfect, no one's perfect."


    According to the report, Teixeira joked that his parents "would probably

kill me before the media would if anything like that came out about me."He also

said that he favored releasing all 104 names that came back positive in Major

League Baseball's 2003 survey testing, which originally had been intended to

remain anonymous.



    "I think Lance Berkman put it pretty straight up when he said, unless the

other names come out, everybody's going to be suspicious of the entire baseball

world," Teixeira said.



    A rookie in 2003,Teixeira said that he had no idea Rodriguez was using

steroids then.



    "I was really worried about staying in the big leagues," Teixeira said.

"I came in as a third baseman, learned how to play first base and the outfield

my rookie year, so I had no idea what was going on. I'd get lost [driving] to

the stadium some days. I never saw anything, no one talked about it.



    "That was supposedly the post-steroid era, we were getting tested and I was

definitely not going to be messing around with that stuff when I'm getting tested.

So I think if it was happening, and obviously it was, people didn't talk about

it."



    The Journal-Constitution reported that Teixeira has donated to Georgia Tech

every year since he was the Rangers' first-round selection in 2001, but the

$500,000 pledge marked his largest offering yet. The 28-year-old first baseman

signed an eight-year, $180 million contract with the Yankees this offseason.



   "I've been very blessed to be in the position I am now,"Teixeira said,adding

with a laugh, "It's no coincidence that I signed a contract and Georgia Tech is

getting a nice donation now."




Teixeira is due to report to George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla.

, on Feb. 18 along with the rest of the Yankees' position players.
