Trade Teahen?

The Daily Lancer makes the case for the Royals shopping Mark Teahen.

He finished with an 874 OPS--good for 2nd in the AL for third basemen and 8th for all third baseman. As we approach 2007, Teahen is being readied for the outfield because of Mr. Alex Gordon. Teahen's numbers actually translate well to the OF as his OPS would rank 6th out of all LFers and 5th out of all RFers. However with the lack of pitching the Royals have, it seems prudent that they should listen to offers for Teahen.

It's not a bad idea. The Royals have depth at that position. They also are desperately in need of pitching. Anyone acquiring Teahen would also control him for four seasons. It sounds like a pretty good deal could be made here.

There's a lot to like about Teahen. If I were a team with a 3rd base hole, I'd be calling the Royals. The downside to the not-Royals in this is that the current Royals GM appears to not be a total moron, so you'd have to pay pretty heavily to get a solid hitting 3rd baseman who's cost controlled for almost as long as Juan Pierre's contract.
