Could he not start putting together some Theriot years for the Cubs starting next year as a replacement for Theriot? If it saves a few million, why not? Yeah, I guess so actually. It'd probably be smart for us to at least give him a shot at 2B next year, because conceivably it could save us 4-5 mill that we could spend somewhere else. That said, has he EVER played 2B anywhere? I'd figure he could probably make the transition, but who knows? No idea, but a more realistic option may be as the primary backup at 2B and SS, and heir to the 2B spot when Theriot leaves as a free agent. But I'd be happy to see him Ryan gone before 2011 starts.
