Mark Teahen

Mark Teahen :"While the Yankees and Phyllis continued to carry on the battle for the World Series on Wednesday night, and the Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Royals have made the trade.
Daily News learned from the White Sox have agreed to send second baseman Chris Getz and third baseman Josh Fields to the royal family of Mark Teahen, who is expected to replace Jermaine Dye, Chicago, the right fielder.
Teahen hit .271 with 12 homers and 50 RBI for the monarchy in '09, but in 77 games lifetime against White Sox he has hit .277 with 12 RBI and 41 homers, which may explain why they wanted him on their side " .
There is one word that comes to mind when talking about this trade: the bullish trend.
From the viewpoint of the royal family, and there are a lot of upside in this deal. GM Dayton Moore traded a player with a modest rise in the price of the two players is costly, and who are under the control of the team in the foreseeable future, and actually some talent. The Chris Getz White Sox starting second baseman this season and has a lifetime OBP of .380 in the minors. And it was just a few years ago, Josh Fields was one of the White Sox best prospects, and remember that in 2007, there were 23 home runs for the fields white socks.
However, I'm struggling to understand where the White Sox GM Kenny Williams believes the upside in this deal for his team. At this stage of his career, and Mark Teahen what he is: an average hitter with some pop, which can play on the right in the Mediterranean. Teahen has not developed in the power of OBP was expected to become the average hit was on the decline since 2006. In addition, Teahen does not seem to fit enough to replace Jermaine Day in bats in the field of the right, although his defense is superior to dye for. Finally, Teahen will probably get more than $ 4 million dollars in arbitration this season, and that would actually make him a candidate to be unconditional. According to fangraphs, Teahen was worth more than $ 1.3 million in any of the last two seasons.
That is something official to come down, and I have a hard time believing this deal also constructed. This deal seems to benefit greatly from the royal family, but it does not look like a top high trade Kenny
