Mulhern had a huge season in 2005, but hasn't been able to duplicate it.  His mediocre plate discipline that year probably provided a clue about his future.  He did rebound a bit in 2007, but regressed in 2008 until the Pirates acquired him, with Dan Reichert, for a PTBNL.  The move came at the same time the Pirates sent Craig Wilson to Seattle, so Mulhern was needed to replace Wilson as a 1B/DH at Indianapolis.  Mulhern has also played some in the outfield as a pro, but he's mainly stayed at 1B.  For Indianapolis he mainly served as a DH and didn't hit much beyond a little power.  He's still a year away from minor league free agency, so he's likely to return in 2009.
