Kenny Williams Wastes No Time

Not even twelve hours into the off-season, Kenny Williams has made his first roster move. 2B Chris Getz and 3B Josh Fields were traded to the Kansas City Royals this morning for 3B/OF Mark Teahen. For those unfamiliar with Teahen, he is a 28 year old who bats lefty and owns a career .269/.331/.419/.749 line with an OPS+ of 97. For what it's worth, he has hit very well at the Cell. He becomes the second member of the infamous Oakland Athletics' Moneyball draft to join the White Sox. Here's hoping his tenure here is more enjoyable than the previous one was.
I'm not really sure how to feel about this trade. Fields' career with the Pale Hose was over, so I'm happy he gets to see a new organization. I don't like that Getz is gone. Teahen has been worth .4 WAR combined over the past two seasons and has seen his walk rate drop each year since 2007. If he can get back to drawing walks like he did in 2006 and 2007, he can be valuable again. Another sticking point is salary. Teahen made 3.75 mil last season and is arbitration eligible. We just added another 4 million to the team payroll with this trade. The thing I wonder about now is what is Kenny's next move? If Teahen really is starting in right, is Nix the new 2B? Are Gordon Beckham and Alexei Ramirez going to be shifted around the infield? At least we know it's going to be an interesting off-season.

wait for the press release, seeing as getz is confused as to what is going on. he’d have to know, right?

As far as Getz, if he was traded it was news to him. The second baseman just said in a text, "I don’t know what’s going on.’’

Beckham up the middle, SS or 2B. Nix is the utility infielder/right handed platoon mate for Teahan?

I watched
the White Sox over the last five months of the season. He’s better than Fields, but he’s not a good third baseman (I know he was learning on the fly also). I also know that Alexei wasn’t very good at short. I’ll suffer from a bellow average guy at third if it means better D come from short and second.

Two Words, Suck It
Teahen is horrible at 3rd. Not enough enthusiasm!
Ive been in KC for almost 5 yrs now and the greatest thing about Teahen being traded is going to hear all the morons down here cry about it, especially the idiot fans that named their first borns over the past two years Teahan.
I bet he plays RF.

First glance: He could be a full win upgrade over JD2009 in right.
But I don’t understand why Teahen as opposed to all the other available 1 WAR OF types. I like that he’s left handed at least.

Would suggest to me money isn't a huge concern apparently.
Either because they are planning on moving a salary ( Jenks? ), or they just aren’t doing as bad as some of assumed. They don’t trade for a guy like Teahen who makes 4 million unless they have some money to work with.

but, if they shift ‘che back to 2B, move savior to SS and sign Beltre for 3B…I’m okay with it.

I guess I am just reacting to it and becoming angry. like bobby said, if bacon gets to play SS and we get another decent 3B it could work out well.

I’m still holding on to those Chone Figgins 3B dreams. Know it won’t happen, but it’d be awesome. Plus he can play 2B, SS and LF, RF, CF. So he’d give us many options. But I highly doubt we will get him.

i dont understand this deal
Teahen will cost $4-5mill, similar type players will be non tendered at less cost. He’s a below avg hitter, he had some defensive versatility, but not good at any position.
Getz is really underrated, BA ranked him the best avg/best strike zone discipline in 08, he showed to be an efficient base runner last yr.
Unless they plan on shifting alexei/beckham to 2b thats understandable, nix is lousy
Fields never got a legit shot shot here, at worst he’s cheap power.
If teahen is the starting RF in 2010, i hope they keep their options open for other players.
Heck, i’d rather have given up a marginal reliever (which Pirates did) for Iwamura

w/ inconsistent playing time is legit? they gave nix as many ab’s last season. what was the rush, a nontender deadline is soon, wait out the market. i doubt many teams are looking to take on his 4-5mill. if anything, fields shouldve got the everyday job in 08, but didnt for whatever reason. basically at teahen’s contract they are already committing a starting job to him

Fields?
Fields is 28 and can’t hit a fastball… Getz is an average to bellow average major league player. He’s nice, but it’s not like he’s going to be a star (Hello Aaron Miles!). And once again, you apparently stopped watching the White Sox after the 2007 season because Fields sucks. There’s really no other way to say it.

I thought Getz showed good potential
but maybe I like guys who run the bases properly and go from 1st to 3rd. Maybe I overvalue that. I was a little concerned about his being injury prone, but “small sample size”?
We’ll get to see him a lot on the Royals.
Fields will not be missed (but I won’t be surprised to see a game-winning HR or two out of him against us), he’s their next Ross Gload.
But I’m not sure Teahen is worth the opportunity cost of the salary, rather spend it elsewhere.

"I’m not sure Teahen is worth the opportunity cost of the salary, rather spend it elsewhere"
That’s pretty much what I’m thinking. Teahen seems like he would be a good bench player to have on a championship caliber team, but I don’t think he’s a starting RF (or in a RF platoon with Kotsay) on such a team.
And curse (or praise) CWSKeith (I think) for bringing up the talent disparity between the Sox and Yankees / Phillies because that has skewed my view of roster construction / trades. You’ve given me too much to think about when I should be thinking about other things, even boobs ;)

‘Tea’ is a fine drink.
‘Hen’ may refer to:
* A female chicken, a species of bird, bred for its eggs and meat. Also a species of poultry.
* A female octopus
* A female lobster
* A slang term for a woman
* Hen, Buskerud in Ringerike municipality, Buskerud, Norway
* Hen, Møre og Romsdal in Rauma municipality, Møre og Romsdal, Norway
* Hen (manga), a manga created by Hiroya Oku
* Hendon railway station, England; National Rail station code HEN

Its a good enough book to the point that there's no clear
Protagonist, though there obviously is a most excellent antagonist who could potentially be viewed as a protagonist depending on how you skew it. Moss is just a guy who finds a shitload of money and runs with it, not exactly a heroic figure, but still a guy you come to like (especially in the film due to Brolin’s excellent acting) through the course of the film. The guy chasing him is the “ultimate badass” (or rather, “doesn’t have a sense of humor”) Anton Chigurh, so I’m sure you come to like him at least somewhat as well, presuming you can respect the motiveless villain (which is/are ultimately a reflection of Satan in a literary sense).
Finally, the guy chasing both Moss and Chigurh is just a small town sheriff who never had a single murder happen in 30 some years but in the span of a few days a killing spree happens (in addition to “that colossal goatfuck in the desert”) so he doesn’t know how to respond to it, clearly understanding Moss is just a small town boy (granted its revealed he’s actually a Vietnam sniper in the book (Just a reference to ‘Nam in the movie) so he can take care of himself) who reacted fairly normally to an extremely strange and at first excellent opportunity. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell also understands Chigurh is most likely beyond his ability to stop, though he doesn’t ever actually encounter him (hence why the scene with him in the room (at dark) where Moss died is so tense, even though there’s no dialogue spoken, just environmental sounds and breathing). Bell is probably the closest thing to a protagonist, but that’s a stretch, and wanting to limit such a great film/book (book’s not quite as good as the film /shrug) to such trivial concepts is probably a poor approach. Can people stop bitching about how its not a fucking awesome movie though? Fewls.

Shrug, not trying to single you out
There Will Be Blood is roughly the same caliber film since the lead role is so great, but the score is just awful so I think No Country’s a better movie in general (and Javier Bardem’s performance is equal to Daniel Day-Lewis’, it just lasts for a shorter period of time), and pretty much everything else of the whole decade takes a back seat to either (might be forgetting something, and of course Dark Knight gets thrown on some aside of “Super Hero movies cannot possibly be good except compared to other super hero movies”) Maybe its just a bad decade of movies in general that makes it seem so good, to me at least.

If we are going to waste 5 million on a nongrindy rightfielder and lose more value overall at second
then we better fucking get Fijjens. The dude can fucking play right, left, center, third, second and leadoff. You want a ten starter lineup with flexibiliy Kenny, get Fuggens.
In fact, we would be better off with Faggens in right and no Teahen than Teahen anywhere and no Figgrns. and only 5 freaking million more for Foggens.
