Fontenot

[CubColtPacer]

I don't see Fontenot as starter material at the major league level (I'd like to eat crow on this one, but I don't see it). I would, however, much prefer him to some overpriced mediocre vet off of the bench next year (obvious example, Neifi).

 

He could be just as good if not better than Theriot and we are giving him a chance. I'd like to see them split time at 2B next year unlesss you are planning to make a big upgrade like Soriano.

There's a few differences between Theriot and Fontenot. Theriot is still young enough to be considered a prospect, while Fontenot should have broke into the bigs already.

 

Theriot is 6 months older than Fontenot.

 

I thought he was 24? I guess I thought wrong...

 

Yeah, Theriot turns 27 in December, and Fontenot turns 27 next June.

Both will likely be solid bench players. Let them both split time next year and we could find out who the better one will be and stick with it. We likely can't keep both unless one emerges as a starter.
