When I was working as a substitute teacher, I used to joke that I was going to sneeze in people’s coffee to assure that I got work that week. It’s kind of sad in a way, that you’re hoping someone else has some kind of misfortune and misses work, so you can have work. Part of me wonders if Theriot is secretly hoping someone comes up injured, or gets cut or traded. For him to be assured playing time, he pretty much has to hope someone gets knocked out of the way!

I’ve never been very high on Theriot, so I don’t get that myself. I guess he’s holding out for a starting job (I swear I read that somewhere). All I can think is “dude, you’re a 33-year-old utility guy that hasn’t had an OPS over .700 since 2009. Take what you can get.” Plus between he and Raburn, I’d much rather have Raburn. His bat has more pop and he can play more positions. He had a really bad year last year, but if that was an outlier, he would be more worthwhile.

And I agree that there may be one more big move (or at least big-ish) on the horizon. Spring training started so early this year, that I feel like some of that may take shape in a couple of weeks.

I hope so. Its wonderful to hear the “stats” about how pestano and perez close games 95% of the time after leading in the 8th. But pestano is a better pitcher and i can see Perez having a really down year. We have so many arms in the Pen there isnt a need for perez and we should trade him. And maybe asdrubal for that matter. I really like aviles

The Tribes remaining interest in Ryan Theriot is really interesting. We already have a guy in Aviles who is capable of starting at short. Theriot is another guy who would be an exceptional backup and okay starter. Why would be interested in having two of those players on the roster? Is it for depth or could we still be shopping asdrubal?
