Cubs 2nd in OPS in second half?

[Dallas Green]

Already feel like the deal was a success as De Witt is a huge upgrade over Theriot. At the very least, he will be a valuable bench player, but I like him at 2b so far.

 

Blake DeWitt is better than Ryan Theriot this year, and is younger. Of course it was a success. The Lilly portion of the trade was the issue

 

 

Yeah, really wanted Ely, but Wallach was someone they liked, and who knows Lilly may be back, the 34 part i dont like so much, but leftys tend to have more shelf life

The age and cost difference is actually pretty huge. I believe when Theriot was Dewitt's age he was still in Daytona.
