Theriot

e a club filled with All-Stars, but in a year or two a lot of the great young Cubs such as Soto and Theriot will be receiving the huge paychecks they deserve, considering they've been making league minimum so far in their careers. So, having an owner such as Cuban who is willing to throw money at the players would be great for the Cubs.

eak on the team, not by voting but since 2B is a little weak this year and he has been solid.  Theriot deserves to be but I think SS is too deep for him to make it.  I would like to s

you are over the hump and can flourish at the center-field platoon.

     Ryan Theriot continues to impress.  I'm starting to be confident that he will have this consistency all year.  Sure, he will go through a slump like everyone else, but overall here are a few stats.  In the National League he ranks sixth in hits with 69 dude.  He is tied for 20th with base on ball at 29, and only struck out 20 times, while posting .325 batting average.  Last night he goes 3-5, including an r.b.i.
