The World Series is over (congratulations Yankees), so let the Hot Stove Season begin (which we will be following closely at Rotoprofessor)! It hasn’t taken long for things to seemingly get into high gear, as the Chicago Sun-Times (click here for the article) is reporting that the White Sox have traded Josh Fields & Chris Getz to the Kansas City Royals for Mark Teahen.
It’s a tough trade to weigh in on, as it clearly is just a small portion of what the Royals will be trying to do as they shape their ball club for 2010.
Does the acquisition of Getz show that they are not confident Mike Aviles will be able to fully recover from his surgery? Will he be the starter over Alberto Callaspo?
Getz is a nice player who adds some speed to a line-up that was definitely lacking. He hit .261 last season (courtesy of a .301 BABIP), but has some potential there to hit at least .280 with everyday at bats. He makes good contact (14.4% strikeout rate in 2009) and should prove to be a solid, albeit unspectacular, table setter for the Royals.
