The Royals pulled him up from Triple-A on June 3rd. Since then he has played basically every game, stats:

BA .288 over 260 plate appearances
75 hits
13 doubles
6 triples
13 home runs
50 rbis
31 walks
5 stolen bases
obs .899

He kinda sucked a lot more last year though. Fact or Fiction?

Is he actually a good player or is this just a random illusory spike

Isn't it Mark Teahen? I know he was one of the Moneyball guys, so maybe he is good. Don't know much about him.

Fiction!

The correct answer is MARK Teahen.

(FWIW, I read about him in Moneyball so I assume he has some potential.)

I'm going with Fiction. I don't think he has the skills to keep it up.

He has the skills to be a good not great 3b.

ron shandler compared him to joe randa. that seems a very accurate comparison, and no one should be disappointed if he has randa's career.

I don't think his power number will ever be much long term, but I think his OBP can stay good. The real question is what happens to him when Alex Gordon comes around.
