Community Projection: Mark Teahen

because I think the Cell will help his hr’s which will help walks, slg, ect

im optimistic.

I’m about to bust him in the back of his head like MC Hammer the funky headhunter.

Mitchell impresses, but amongst first assigned to MiLB camp

I have been putting off even thinking about Teahan as the starting 3B. Now I’m forced to not only consider it, but plan for it. Fuck.

Alright fine. I went with 459 pa, 280/320/440 — not really feeling Teahan, even with the bump in power from the Cell. He’ll take less walks and swing for the fences, BABIP will bounce back to the mean and he’ll hit for a higher average.

I guess he’s kinda like Joe Crede with a better back and mediocre defense. Shit, that guy isn’t that good.

I think we can all agree that he is a heeeell of a lot better than our projected 3rd baseman last year i.e. Fields/Goggles

0 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 6 ER

Reinsdorf, in fact, made that judgment twice — once with regret and once without.

As the story goes, the White Sox tried to acquire Peavy last May 21 before the fireballing right-hander invoked his no-trade clause to stay with the Padres. That first maneuver from Williams was brought to Reinsdorf while he was on break from a Major League Baseball owners’ meeting in New York.

“I’m walking down the street on the way back to the hotel and Kenny calls and lays this on me,” Reinsdorf recounted. "I’m trying to digest the whole thing … what’s our budget? How much can we afford? And he’s got to have an answer, because this thing is hot.

“After thinking it all through, I said ‘OK.’ Then, after I did, and thought it through some more, I said, ‘I shouldn’t have said yes.’ So, when the deal didn’t go down, I was happy.

“Then, we fast forward to July 31, and Kenny sends me an e-mail asking, ‘Do you want Peavy?’ and I replied ‘No thank you.’ But I said, ‘If you want to talk about it, come on in.’ So, he did. He brought in [assistant general manager] Rick [Hahn]. We went through our budget for last year and what our payroll looked like for the next couple of years and concluded we could probably handle it. It’s as simple as that.”

600 AB, 20+ HR and 12 SB, 35 2B, 282 BA, 412 SLG, 337 OBP

I found the baseball almanac baseball stats calculator quite helpful.

FJD.

On the power numbers, 19 HR’s, hoping that playing at the Cell helps, and very high on steals (14), figure Ozzie will have him running like everyone else.
Also was under the assumption playing for a better team has to do something for the guy, but I have no facts to back that up. He also seems like the type who will enjoy the extra attention of playing in a real market, but then again, FNS.

But, it’s only one HR over his career high, and it’s age 28 year, in a hitting friendly park now in a better line up. It doesn’t seem that absurd to think he could hit 19. Kaufmann is one of the hardest places to hit a homerun, the cell one of the easiest.
And 14 SBs is only one more then his career high too, and with Ozzie, adding 6 steals from last year doesn’t seem ridiculous.

When is the Scott Linebrink projection? Thinking about it gives me a migraine.

just kidding, but this redneck school did cancel prom instead of let a lesbian couple go.
