Two people who work for the same site can’t disagree on the future of a relatively young player? I’d much rather see the occasional disagreement than everybody always agreeing.

The White Sox seem to think Teahen is a plus defensive 3B. They’ve even got Steve Stone calling him a good defensive player. I really wonder what this team uses to evaluate players sometimes.

I think the White Sox have a little flexibility now in terms of free agent signings. If they find a 3B (I’ll take one Chone Figgins please), then Teahan can play the outfield as badly as he can play third. If they find a RF, Teahan plays third. If they land a CF (no thank you, Mr Podsednik), they can put Rios in right. Kotsay can play if they land nobody. They don’t have to get into a bidding war and have a little leverage in negotiations. It’s not a terrible position to be in.

The problem is this plan still has Teahan and Kotsay hitting alot which is suboptimal.

And I forgot to mention that neither Morel nor Retherford nor Jon Gilmore, for that matter, excite me enough to stray from offering an older player a multiyear deal.

“…the disaster that was Josh Fields.” I seem to remember a post around here not that long ago about how trading Fields away was a bad thing. Sure, the point was about the money involved more than the below average players but this still amuses me.

Not to hijack this thread, but I’d love the Sox to go after Adrian Beltre. He’d be an adequate replacement for Dye’s bat and the best defender in arguably the majors’ worst defensive infield. I don’t think anyone would lose sleep over dunking Teahan in the outfield vs. inserting him at 3B, either.
