Theriot and Dewitt involved in trade?

[NomarSammy]

Both ulled from their respective games tonight. That is just too much of a coincidence

Probably should be merged with Lilly trade thread. I'm getting kind of excited. I hope this isn't a letdown.

Yes please.

 

And I don't particularly even care for DeWitt.

I don't really think there's a correlation here. If there was a trade involving those 2 guys and Theriot was pulled, why would DeWitt have been allowed to play probably 4-5 innings more at that point? There may be a trade, but I don't think THIS was anything more than a coincidence.

Isnt Blake DeWitt Mike Fontenot without the sneaky power?

with fewer years and more upside, yes.

Cheaper and six years younger. I think he improves to a better version of Fontenot. Not a huge upgrade, though.

Dewitt's better than all of the the Cubs' other 2B options right now. Yeah, not really saying much, but given how young and cheap he is I'd have no problem taking him on.

Theriot was double switched out at a point in the game where it seemed like a logical move so I wouldn't read anything into it. If it really was due to a trade the timing worked out very conveniently since Theriot made the last out (looking very bad doing so by the way) the previous inning and Dempster loaded the bases with no one out forcing Lou to make a pitching change.

Troy Renck of the Denver Post tweets that the Cubs could move Ryan Theriot to the Diamondbacks for Kelly Johnson.

Wait why would Arizona do that?

They wouldn't do it straight up. There has to be more involved if there's any truth to the rumor at all.

The tweet says the D-Backs would need a SS if they lose Drew. Playing Theriot out of position all these years could pay off after all.
