Mark Teahen, third base, Kansas City Royals.  He's as hot as any hitter in baseball right now.

From the KC Star:

"In a way," Teahen said, "the game has slowed down a little bit. The other thing is I’m just able to focus more. I’m not as distracted with all of the distractions of the big leagues. I think I’ve found a comfort zone where it’s not as distracting this year."

His contribution Tuesday was a single, two doubles and a two-run homer in four at-bats. He boosted his average to .295, stole two bases and scored two runs, including the eventual winning run -- which he virtually manufactured on his own in the sixth inning:

A hustle double and a stolen base that turned into a run when it forced a bad throw by catcher Victor Martinez.

"He had about as good a game," manager Buddy Bell said, "as you can have."

Maybe Teahen-hood will rub off on some of the other young Royals.  It's baseball.  There's always hope.
