http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4088 Recent articles about Josh Fields en-us After posting last week about Buster Olney’s article and comments about arbitration-eligible players and free agents, the Twins traded Carlos Gomez to the Brewers for J.J. Hardy; the Red Sox traded Jose Alvarez and Hunter Jones to the Marlins for Jeremy Hermida; and the White Sox acquired Mark Teahen for Chris Getz and Josh Fields. Olney posted a column on his ESPN.com site (“Hermida’s Move Sure to be Replicated - 11-6-2009) supporting his earlier comments while noting that the Royals are loo...

Hardy moving from the Brewers to the Twins for Carlos Gomez, and Mark Teahen going from the Royals to the White Sox for Josh Fields and Chris Getz), and they have a potential outfield replacement ready for Crawford in Desmond Jennings. The White Sox will consider dealing Jenks, whose salary is about to increase through arbitration, whi...

Mark Teahen is coming to the South Side while Chris Getz and Josh Fields pack their bags for Kansas City.  The White Sox wanted the versatile Teahen to add youth to an aging outfield or add [...] Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:00:06 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Well_Crap/1514906 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Well_Crap/1514906 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Well_Crap/1514906 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/b/9/b94ab1298dfbadb55abb24528d2d9f1fc989f983/small/MLB_MAY_03_cee4.jpg Both teams have now confirmed the rumored Teahen trade.  The deal is exactly the same as it was reported yesterday with the additional detail that the Royals are sending some cash, along with Teahen, to the White Sox.  Kansas City gets Chris Getz and Josh Fields in return.  Click here and here to read the related articles [...] Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:01:04 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/It_Is_Official_Teahen_to_the_White_Sox/1513687 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/It_Is_Official_Teahen_to_the_White_Sox/1513687 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/It_Is_Official_Teahen_to_the_White_Sox/1513687 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/5/a/5a60aaec61091a3a226b275020d7bc5576489a92/small/YankeesWhite_Sox_8f0a.jpg The Chicago White Sox have acquired infielder/outfielder Mark Teahen in a trade from the Kansas City Royals for infielders Chris Getz and Josh Fields. The White Sox also get cash considerations. Teahen batted .271 with a 12 home runs and 50 RBI in 144 games with the Royals in 2009. He made 99 starts at third base, 31 in right field and three at second. Getz, who became Chicago's starting second basemen, batted .261 with two homers, 31 RBIs and 25 stolen bases in 107 games last seaso...

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty excited the Sox picked up Teahen’s career line of .269/.331/.419/.749, and what might work out to be $5+ million salary, now that’s he’s arbitration eligible. Ahem.

A pretty bad and pretty pointless trade for the White Sox. Luckily for White Sox fans, when it comes to Kenny Williams, the trades I love turn out badly and the trades I hate turn out well, so Teahen will hit 40 home runs, Kotsay will win a Gold Glove, Josh Fields will contract lupus, and Getz will go on a shooting spree...

You be the judge: "While the Yankees and Phillies continued to wage their World Series battle Wednesday night, the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals were making a trade. The Daily News learned the White Sox have agreed to send second baseman Chris Getz and third baseman Josh Fields to the Royals for Mark Teahen, who is expected to replace Jermaine Dye as Chicago's right fielder.

This makes no sense for Chicago, as best as I can tell.  Teahen is supposedly going to replace Jermaine Dye as their right fielder.  Teahen is average to a little below average defensively in right field.  Since his breakout 2006 season, he has posted EQAs of .259, .240, and .248, which is not good for a COF.  Fangraphs has Teahen has hav...
