March 6, 2008
Outfielder Mark Teahen skipped batting practice for a second straight day, according to the KC Star. Teahan was held out of Wednesday's work after telling the training staff his sore forearm was still bothering him. “He came in feeling better today,” Hillman said, “but he’s going to take the day off from swinging today and concentrate on defense. We’ll put the bat back in his hands (Friday) and see what happens.” Hillman told the Star that Teahen probably won’t return to the lineup before Saturday.
March 5, 2008

February 23, 2008
Mark Teahen's power stroke faded last season, but he points to offseason shoulder surgery as the root cause and believes he'll regain his power in 2008, according to the KC Star. "I feel like I had a successful year outside of the home-run numbers," said Teahen. "I’m looking forward to getting into this year because I know what I need to do to keep my legs healthy. I also was able to lift weights all winter. So I assume it will be like it was (in 2006)." Teahan's right that outside of his homers dropping off from 18 in 393 at-bats in 2006 to seven in 544 at-bats in 2007, he posted decent numbers like a .285 batting average and 78 runs. So we could see a real breakout this year.
February 8, 2008
The Royals avoided going to arbitration with Mark Teahen by signing him to a one-year contract on Thursday afternoon, according to the KC Star. "It’s good for both sides to avoid that process," Teahen said. "The way I understand it, the team has to go in and convince an arbitrator that you’re not worth what you’re asking for, and you have to prove that you are." Teahan will earn about $2.3 million in 2008.
