Many Brewer fans I know despise Reed Johnson because of the Yovani Gallardo accident last year...and Carlos Zambrano cause of his 'antics'...and, well, actually many Brewer fans just hate every Cub

Too bad we cant appreciate a guy whose given us nothing but consistancy for the past 4 years just because he doesnt OPS .900.

 

4 years? more like 1.66 years

Sorry that we don't have a top 5 starter at every position. I guarantee you about 20 other teams would love to have Theriot starting for them. At least 20. The only team that Theriot definitely wouldn't start for in the NL is Philly. Los Angeles maybe. but you can argue that he is better than Hudson and Furcal. Florida maybe, Uggla is a pretty bad baseball player at times.

Out of all shortstops who have at least 250 PAs, Theriot has the 11th highest OPS. The guys ahead of him are Hanley Ramirez, Jason Bartlett, Troy Tulowitzki, Derek Jeter, Yunel Escobar, Marco Scutaro, Miguel Tejada, Asdrubal Cabrera, Stephen Drew and Erick Aybar.

 

Theriot's a nice player to have and I have no problem with him starting. He'd be more valuable at second base, but he's a nice player overall.

I'm a Cub fan and I hate the whole state of Wisconsin.

 

I couldn't agree more....plus you can't even buy beer after 9 pm (or at least in Madison)

I didn't realize Cabrera was playing SS now. I've had it in my mind that he's a 2B

Most of his career he's been a second baseman, but this year he's played 53 games at short and 28 at second. I don't know where their future plans are for him, but he's been mostly a SS this year.

 

And his .299/.350/.444/.794 line does look a bit better at shortstop, I'd say. He's only 23 though, so that line's going to look decent at most positions.
