Do you actually think we would trade Mark Teahan right now just to bring someone up from the minor's?
Teahen is one of the hottest players in baseball right now. WTF would you trade him? You BUILD around guys like that.

Eh. Agree and disagree. Teahan was Baird's guy. Not Dayton's. Granted, Gordon was Baird's too, however Gordon is considered a can't-miss, no-brainer and would have been anyone's pick in that spot. That's the guy you build around. Right now and over the next year, you play Teahan, hope he stays hot and trade him. Get a couple young arms --maybe more --for him and plug Gordon in at third.
Your only other option would be to try to change his position or Gordon's. As of now, it doesn't look like they're going to do that, as Shealy looks to be the long-term guy at first, and Gordon is still playing third in Wichita, and Teahan is still playing third up here.
