Teahen Moved To Right, Gordon To Play Third


A third baseman throughout his short career, Mark Teahen will be the starting right fielder in Thursday's exhibition contest. The Royals' decision to transition Teahen to right this early in Spring Training speaks volumes about their feelings for blue-chip third-base prospect Alex Gordon and the rookie's readiness for prime time. Barring a huge setback, look for Gordon, a five-category stud in the Minors, to receive the large majority of starts at third in 2007.
