Dick Allen Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Teahen has made a dramatic improvement at third this year. I'd call him almost adequate. Give it time. They used to say the same thing about Jorge Orta at 2nd. Year after year after year. Teahen is just saving some really bad plays until when it will hurt the Sox the most.

Balta1701 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) Yes, I'm being serious. Baiting? If I wanted to do that I don't need Mark Teahen. He's an awful baseball player. I can't stand him. Teahen was viewed as a serious moneyball style prospect coming up through the Royals system, just like the guys you adore so much now. He got here and took a bit of time struggling, but then killed the ball for a > .900 ops for the second half of 06. After that though the Royals started moving him around and never gave him a consistent position, and his offense suffered. The sox thought that if they moved him back where he was comfortable and put him at 3b everyday, then both his defense and his offensive talent would show back up. When we traded for him he was 1 year from FA so if he did put up that .900 ops again he'd be really expensive, so the extension would have looked like a bargain. Note; this was not thinking I agreed with at the time. This is also why you dont write prospects in as allstars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a change that might actually do something? Whether you believe it or not, firing Walker isn't going to suddenly make everyone start hitting.

Fields and Getz are both replacement level players. The extension is what boggles the human mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk had been a Teahen guy for years thinking he would develop big power, then the year before KW got him, even the Hawkeroo soured on Teahen.

Again, I didn't like it, but if he did put up a .900 ops in 2009 he'd have walked right into free agency. KW was expecting he traded for a guy that would be worth $13 million; so locking him up for 3 years would have been smart. The problem was that Teahen wasn't the player kenny thought.
