Is there any way that Omar can actually help Dayan be a serviceable 3B? He seems to have been a positive influence for Alexei. Maybe we can sign him to be a player/coach next year and spend extra time working with the Tank.

I think Teahen is actually a really good option for our needs...Vizquel for defense and lineup balance, Viciedo beats up LHP, Teahen hits RHP better than Viciedo, Teahen can be useful in corner OF as well as 3b/DH.

 

It's really the perfect setup for a rotating DH...several old guys, several guys who fit a platoon well.

 

Yep, it's the exact setup Ozzie wants once Teahen returns if he just DFA's Kotsay. Of course, we're the White Sox though, so it probably won't work out that simply.

Dayan is a future 1B/DH as far as I'm concerned.

I think the reality is...there's only so much time in the day. Our goal was to get him ready with the bats, because that's his job. You put him in AAA for 3 years and tell him to focus on being a 3b, he'll probably be a decent 3b, with that cannon he has covering up for some of his mistakes. But...you don't exactly want to waste his bat for several years.
