Teahen puts oblique to test in rehab debut

Mark Teahen probably won't be wearing this uniform for long.

On the disabled list with a strained right oblique, Mark Teahen began his rehab assignment with the Charlotte Knights and put it through a fairly rigorous test.

He went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and a pair of strikeouts, made a nice lunging play to his left, was unsuccessful in a dive to his right, and also tried breaking up a 4-6-3 double play off the bat of Dayan Viciedo. If he comes out no worse for the wear, then I think we can say Dallas McPherson's days are numbered.

I took some video of Jordan Danks and Viciedo, but I'll get to that tomorrow. Neither did anything remarkable, although Danks did pull a flyball foul (I've only seen him go opposite-field in the air), and Viciedo smashed a double to right field, which was neat.

If anything stood out in particular, it was the defense of Eduardo Escobar. He looked very smooth in the field, making a couple of tough plays going to his right and a two he had to charge. I didn't get video, but I did get some pictures.

Speaking of which, here are a ton of them:

If he keeps it up

he can be dealt when everyone else starts hitting consistently, of course that has to happen first

very nice pix Jim,

unfortunately my annual Fenway trip to see the big boys won’t happen this year, but I expect to see the Knights visit Pawtucket in June.

Cool action shots. You're a regular Nam Y Huh.

I like the invisible chair in pic #40.

Thanks. I think I'm getting better.

I’m still pretty new to SLRs and my equipment is one notch above entry level. My boss lent me a couple of his lenses to try out, which helped, but you still need those massive telephoto lenses for good night shooting.
