ESPN1000 Mark Teahen for Matt Murton?

[Mephistopheles]

Meph Move Stamp of Approval would be in effect for this move, as long as we still are in on Fukudome. It is a solid move.

[Burtonbell]

Where did this come from? Whoa!

[CuseCubFan69]

Where did you hear this?

[E.J.]

I would be all over that move. Get it done Hendry.

[Mephistopheles]

It isn't a move. It's a rumor.

[Mephistopheles]

Where did you hear this?

 

Apparently Levine said it.

[C.C.]

You can read it on here also.

OHH HELL YEAH! ..if this is happens.

[PrimeTime]

I dont know much about Teahan,but his stats suggest he's just like Murton but left-handed...Can anyone fill me in?

That is pretty much what he is. Think of the move as giving Murton a chance to play.

Teahan has a higher ceiling.

That sounds like a pretty good description, although he may be better defensively as I think he came up as a 3B and played a few games in CF last year as well as RF.

[soapy]

I guess that would be Hendry's ideal dream of a left-handed Matt Murton, no?

 

ETA: about seven people beat me to that comparison :?

Not necessarily. One thing to remember is that Teahan was a Beane-supported acquisition a few years ago. So this a very un-Hendry-like move. It's almost too obvious to happen.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

Where does Teahan fit? Isn't he a 3B/RF? Are we prepping in case Fukudome signs elsewhere, or is Teahan on the bench?

Looking at the stats, I would say Murton has the higher ceiling. The only reason to make this deal is that Teahan is left-handed. :roll:

Kosuke could play CF.

[treebird]

was teahen hurt or something last year?

 

2006- 21.8 ab/hr

2007- 77.7 ab/hr

 

393 ab's in 06, and 544 in 07

 

by the way, murton's careers slashes are .296/.365/.455

 

teahen's are .274/.340/.429

 

does teahen play good defense in the outfield?

 

i guess you could always make the case that if two players put up similar numbers and only one of them plays in the hard league, that's the one you want.

[OleMissCub]

A left handed Murton... same age and everything.

[USSoccer]

This also has my stamp of approval. Less valuable than Meph's, but better than, say CT's.

Not that'll happen. Teahen's very mobile for his size. He might be mobile enough to play 2B non-Jeterian to the point where his bat more than makes up for his defensive miscues, in a Jeff Kent lite sort of way.

[JeffH]

I imagine it would take more than Murton to get Teahen.

 

Eric Patterson? A reliever like Petrick or Roquet?

Does he come with a porn-stache?

[jersey cubs fan]

It would be a nice move if the Cubs would then trade for Matt Murton to platoon with him in RF.

But Teahen makes life easier!
