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