you seem to forget SB and fielding. and don't give me the argument on his range it's very good and his arm is definitely average. he's an average fielder despite your efforts to argue otherwise. he's tied for 4th in SB among shorstops. Hanley Ramirez is the only "bad" base-stealer ahead of him (below 77 percent success rate). 19 stolen bases don't really mean much. They've come in meaningful times. unlike Reyes who will steal just to up his numbers. Clutch stolen bases? That's a first. :lol: would you rather a guy steal when you have a 5 run lead or a difference of one run. You're trying to tell me that every single Ryan Theriot stolen base has come in a meaningful time? Here's a question: who would you rather have as your starting SS, Theriot or Reyes?

Yes but giving Theriot overall season numbers, SS isn't the place to look for upgrades. SS isn't a hole I've said it a million times Yes, SS could be upgraded. Theriot's .710 OPS isn't that great. That could definitely be upgraded. I'm just saying he's the best option the Cubs have right now. Tell me, why do you and everyone worship the almighty OPS? OBP is much more important. Because OPS leads to total bases. OBP is important, but so is SLG %. You can't completely ignore the importance of SLG %.

Yes but giving Theriot overall season numbers, SS isn't the place to look for upgrades. SS isn't a hole I've said it a million times why do you have to have a "hole" per se to upgrade? There is no upgrade available at short and Theriot is a big part of this offense. Heres the proof. cubs are playing small ball small ball=sb+singles sb+singles=Riot You making up equations is not proof of anything.

Who gets the walk-off for the Brewers?

What does this mean? Please, if you want to debate and be heard or taken seriously, use more than one-liners to support your points. I've been watching and reading your posts for a while now and controversy surrounds you in large part because you do not adequately support your contentions. Please if you want to make sense don't make silly statements, My point is that they're scoring runs very well with Theriot stealing bases and without hitting doubles, triples and HR. Furthermore, i contend that there aren't very many power options at short and that SS isn't the place to look for power. Lee, Ramirez and Sori should be hitting for power, yet they're not. Are we to say we need a new 1B, 3B and LF no, because they're getting on base, much the same way Theriot is. So please Brinoch, enlighten us as to why we still need a new SS. The Cubs are 19th out of the 30 MLB teams in runs scored. I wouldn't call that "scoring runs very well." Need I remind you of the terrible beginning of the season, that's why we have those numbers. As of late we are scoring runs very well. Without alot of power. So the games we played at the beginning of the year don't count? We are scoring runs right now and we are winning right now without power. Of course, the earlier games count. However we are still winning NOW, what happened earlier is in the past we need to score runs now and we are. I don't see anyone bashing Z right now. That's the logic you're using. What are you talking about? Z's season numbers are very good. Are we supposed to discount when the team plays badly and when players slump? That's the logic you're using. Theriot is having a great July, but did you look at his May and June numbers? If we're going to use your logic then we should remeber Z's start of the year- Pathetic. Once again. The season consists of 162 games. They all matter. Sure, Z was bad to start the season, but he has gotten much better and now his numbers are very respectable. The Cubs offense has been better, but over the course of the season they have been below average. Yes, but not because of Theriot, because of underachievers like Sori who are being paid to be average. Okay. Theriot has been good in July, but the Cubs were scoring runs in June and Theriot was bad. You're not looking at the big picture here. Over the course of this season the Cubs offense has been bad. I agree with you that Theriot is the best option right now for SS, but most of us were hoping for some sort of upgrade on offense.

The Mets are worthless.

Beautiful. Hopefully he feels good tomorrow.

Soriano has to be due for a hot streak sometime soon, right?
