Well Crap…

I waited to weigh in on the most recent news involving the White Sox organization until it was official. 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 [...]

Kenny Williams spoke with reporters today, and some things have become much clearer. To wit: + Even though Jermaine Dye officially became a free agent today, Mark Teahen will play third base instead of right field for the White Sox. Gordon Beckham will move to second base to fill the void left by Chris Getz. Fair [...]

So About This Mark Teahen Trade

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:41:00 -0500

I first heard about this trade while I was at work on Thursday morning, and my initial reaction was of complete surprise. I hadn't even heard a whisper of the White Sox being interested in Teahen or one that said Chris Getz may be traded this offseason. As for Fields I was hoping that Kenny Williams would find somebody dumb enough to take him off the team's hands. Still as the day went on

Mark Teahen for Chris Getz and Josh Fields Reaction

Several news sources and blogs have already chimed in on the news, so I’m a little late to the party. Today the Royals traded Mark Teahen to the Chicago White Sox for Chris Getz and Josh Fields. Many are applauding this as a “good” move by the Royals. As for me I’m okay with the [...]

Making Sense Of The White Sox’ Trade For Mark Teahen

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:33:52 -0500

It looks as if the White Sox have traded Josh Fields and Chris Getz to the Royals for Mark Teahen. 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. Anyway, let’s [...]

White Sox - Acquired Teahen, Signed Kotsay

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:55:44 -0500

Chicago White Sox - Acquired 3B-OF Mark Teahen from the Kansas City Royals for 3B-OF Josh Fields and 2B Chris Getz; Signed OF Mark Kotsay to a 1-year, $1.5 million contract. 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...

Royals reportedly trade Teahen to the ChiSox

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:27:08 -0500

The Royals have reportedly traded Mark Teahen to the Chicago White Sox for third baseman Josh Fields and second baseman Chris Getz. 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...
