Mark Teahen

Royals 3B Mark Teahen will have season-ending surgery for a torn labrum. All reports says he wll be ready for next season.

That is great news in keeper leagues for one of this season's bust out players.

It is not good news for his owners this season.

With just under 30 games remaining, close races in HR/RBI/AVG have taken a hit as Teahen's owners now have a dead spot on their rosters.

In non-keeper leagues, one can just dip into the free agent pool for a replacement. In keeper leagues.....

In keeper leagues, this is an example of why making very late season pushes is unwise. When every little bit is needed to get all the cards to fall right, one or two missteps puts all that to waste.
