Teahen Ends his Season Early

(Mark Teahen batting average graph by Fangraphs)

One of the bright stars to emerge late in the Kansas City Royals season will have season ending surgery on his shoulder and miss the final 22 games. With KC well out of any kind of contention I hope that this move will preserve this promising career and pay dividends in the years ahead. Teahen was an exciting addition to my fantasy team this year and he leaves a big power hole at third base.

If Teahen comes back healthy next year along with David DeJesus and Zack Grienke there should be some good ball played in KC.
