Can someone tell me if the players who will be playing in the WBC will be with their MLB teams during that time? Also, where can I find rosters for the WBC teams? Finally, any suggestions on where to stay? Thanks</p> </blockquote> <div class="source"><p></p></div> http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2008/12/17/696248/what-is-theriot-worth Tate491 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:04:23 -0000 <p>I know the feelings around here are very mixed concerning the value of Ryan Theriot as the Cubs' full time SS.&nbsp; Personally I feel like he played well over his head last year and was still a little below average considering offense, defense, baserunning, etc.&nbsp; Obviously, though, the right people in the Cubs' organization believe in him to some degree.&nbsp; I've been wodering for a while what his trade value might be and I wanted to open up discussion on the topic.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is this a time to sell high on Theriot and attempt to get something good in return or should we hold on to him in anticipation of continued improvement?&nbsp; Furthermore, do any other teams out there value Theriot as much or more than we do?&nbsp; What types of players could we possibly get and what teams might be interested.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another question is who would play SS if Theriot is moved?&nbsp; Can Cedeno offer similar production over an entire season?&nbsp; Is Fontenot or Derosa the answer?&nbsp; Could we pick up someone from the FA bargain bin?&nbsp;</p> <p>All things considered, would it even be worth it to trade Theriot, given the uncertainty of a replacement and backup for the position?&nbsp; I'm of the opinion that we should try to trade Theriot and let Cedeno play only if we could find a team who values hustle, scrappiness and short hops at first enough to overpay for him with either MLB or minor league talent.</p> <p>I'm not saying we should or shouldn't trade Theriot, but I am curious to other people's opinions on the situation.&nbsp; Thanks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
