Sports - Royals Shopping Teahen

clipped from www.kansascity.com The Royals are discussing a possible trade with the Cleveland Indians in which they would acquire an outfielder in exchange for Mark Teahen, according to sources with both teams. Talks are believed to center on three possibilities for the Royals in the deal: Franklin Gutierrez, Ben Francisco and minor-leaguer Trevor Crowe.

The first major rumblings of the off season from the Royals camp. Teahen is now two years removed from his 2006 tear and it appears the team is ready to move on.

A quick look at the numbers makes this kind of a wash regardless of who the Royals end up with. Guitierrez is a year younger than Teahen, but other than that, they all put up similar stats last season:

255/313/402
266/332/438
248/307/383

Can you tell me who you'd rather have?
