If you're in a normal-size mixed league, there's no reason to concern yourself with Teahen. Those in especially deep mixed or AL-only leagues should keep him in mind as their drafts or auctions start to thin out, since even modest production is better than nothing. .260-60-12-50-6 in 560 AB

Positives / Upside	With Gordon Beckham moving to 2B, Josh Fields in Kansas City, and prospect Dayan Viciedo still a bit away, Teahen has a clear path to regular at-bats. He should be able to parlay them into okay numbers in non-SB categories, maybe with a modest bump in power with the move to U.S. Cellular. An added bonus is that he is eligible at both 3B and in the OF.
Negatives / Downside	There was a time when some (especially Royals fans) held out hope Teahen could bring through a bit as a solid power guy at 3B or in an outfield corner. Instead, he's stagnated as "just a guy". He doesn't do anything especially well, and, even more troubling, his SO% and BB% have trended in the wrong directions over the last three years.
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	254
