LETS VOTE RYAN THERIOT INTO THE ALL-STAR GAME

[Abe Frohman]

He always plays hard.

Sorry, I'm voting Chase Utley. (If I vote, that is.)

 

What if Vance pays you to vote for Theriot?

 

Theriot should have gone to UCLA if he wanted to be on the All Star team.

[Exile on Waveland]

How about we don't?

 

If I vote, I'll vote for players that are actually deserving. Not that my Cub bias won't play any factor, but I'd much rather see Derrek Lee voted in as the starting 1B.

I like Theriot, but you might as well vote on someone like Eckstein if you're truing to get Ryan on the AS team.

Take it back.

It would be great if he was picked as a sub by LaRussa since he won't get voted in. He could be a valuable asset to an All Star team because of his versatitlity (2B, SS, pinch hitter, pinch runner).

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Ryan Theriot is such a stud.

 

I thought Chris Burke was better?

 

What are you talking about?

Not to mention that Ryan Theriot has no business being on the All-Star team.

 

since you seem to be the resident riot hater (i drafted him in 3 fantasy leagues knowing he'd be solid) he has just as much business being on the all-star team than any other cub minus lee and hill. His performance so far this year has been outstanding and would be better if he got to play 2b or ss every game and not worry about bein benched by izcrappy. The kid can play and may end up bein the cubs all star selection if lee and hill slump over the next 2 months and he continues to be strong

 

thats simply not true. the fact hes a cub makes littler difference. hes not one of the top shortstops in the league and its not even close. Are you going to sit there and tell me he's played better than:

 

Jose Reyes, Jimmy Rollins, Hanley Ramirez, and Edgar Renteria? That's FOUR shortstops considerably better than him and I only used one of the three divisions in the National League.

 

He's done well, but not nearly well enough to deserve to be an All Star. He's hitting .312 and his SLG isn't even over .375, that should tell you something.

 

That came off a bit harsh towards ya, and i appologize for that. A lil too many drinks after my final. I will say I agree he's got no chance honestly for the ASG but it'd be sweet to see him in there and I think some day he may be that level of player and hope he gets to play every day over izturis cause he's such an offensive upgrade and so far the games i've seen with him at SS he's not much of a defensive downgrade.

I bet he knows a guy that went to UCLA.
