Soriano to 2B?

Maybe move Soriano to 2B, and Theriot to SS? If Theriot can play short, your OF problem is solved.

 

He told Lou today to play him wherever, so it seems his prima donna days of "I'm only playing one position" crap is over.

How about being more respectful when disagreeing with other posters?

If this is the best you have to offer, my suggestion would be to say nothing at all.

I'd be willing to put Soriano at 2B and move DeRosa to SS when we have a flyball pitcher like Hill or Lilly on the mound. Their positive offensive impact would probably outweigh any defensive concerns in that case.

 

Not a bad idea, except where would The Riot play? I think, in my opinion, that there's no need to move The Riot, considering how well he's been performing.

 

Again, the entire idea is predicated on the idea that Theriot will come back down to earth sometime.

 

I think he is already come back down to earth. His SLG is even way down compared to last year, so I'm actually expecting him to show a little more power than he has so far.

IMO Theriot should be an everyday player, batting 2nd and playing wherever, but preferably SS. That is all.

I doubt Theriot's SLG will go up much-his highest SLG in the minor leagues was 391. His SLG this year is .375.

 

Theriot's BA might still go down a little bit too-I'm not sure his BABIP is quite this sustainable. His recent huge walk surge though has raised his OBP 60 points in the last week back to a great level.
