Just a quick heads up. Tonight on FSN (at 6:30 according to my directtv box), there will be a Royals Fanfest show. It's a half-hour show and may well be fairly corny. But, any Royals television programming right now is very welcomed at my house. Also, it might provide some more insight for those of you that were unable to attend (and gear you up for a roadie next year).

Teahen had a good campaign in 2006, but last season he regressed, slugging just .410 and managing only one homer every 78 at-bats. That just doesn't cut it. He's young enough to reverse course, but he may not have the bat for such an "offense-first" position.

And the ugly:
