Newsbreakers

November 27, 2009

Ryan Theriot is likely shifting from shortstop to second base for the 2010 season, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

The team thinks phenom Starlin Castro might be ready to man short next season. The 29-year-old Theriot was one of the Cubs' most consistent bats in 2009, batting .284 in 154 games, and is in no danger of being benched.

September 30, 2009

Ryan Theriot went 3-for-4 in the Cubs' 4-0 loss to the Pirates on Wednesday. Chicago only managed four hits in the game, and Theriot was responsible for three of them.

Our View:

The Cubs didn't put together a very menacing lineup today with Aramis Ramirez and Derrick Lee joining Alfonso Soriano on the sidelines, so it's not a big shocker that they struggled to hit. Theriot is hitting .289 on the season, and he has been a nice player for the team in 2009.

September 25, 2009

Ryan Theriot helped lead the Cubs in tonight's 3-0 win at San Francisco, as he went 2-for-4 with two singles and an RBI.

Our View:

Theriot snapped an eight-game skid without an RBI, and has 53 for the season. He recorded his fifth multi-hit game of September as well.

August 22, 2009

Ryan Theriot was held out of the Cubs lineup on Saturday with a bruised knee, according to MLBlogs.com.

Our View:

Theriot, batting .350 in his past 13 games, is considered day-to-day.

August 18, 2009

Ryan Theriot returned to the lineup Tuesday after fighting a bout of the flu.

Our View:

He will hit leadoff against the Padres and is fine to get back into fantasy lineups.

August 17, 2009

Infielder Ryan Theriot isn't likely to play for the Cubs against the Padres in San Diego tonight as he battles the flu, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Our View:

Theriot didn't play Sunday with the illness, and it's unclear when exactly he will be back, though Tuesday remains a possibility. He is hitting .301 in 448 at-bats for the Cubs this season.

August 12, 2009

Leadoff hitter Ryan Theriot was one of the lone bright spots for the Cubbies on Wednesday night, going 3-for-5 with an RBI in the Cubs 12-5 loss to the Phillies.

Our View:

Theriot is now batting .300 on the season, and is a passable option at short in every format.

August 7, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that Cubs' infielder Ryan Theriot is expected to return to the lineup Friday after sitting out Wednesday's game with a bruised right arm. Theriot injured the arm when he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday.

Our View:

Theriot looks good to go tonight, especially after getting a second day off yesterday during the off day. Theriot has been a decent hitter for the Cubs this season, so they will welcome him back to the lineup tonight.

July 20, 2009

Ryan Theriot went 1-for-1 with a single, and recorded the Cubs' lone RBI in tonight's 10-1 loss at Philadelphia.

Our View:

The Cubs only had six hits in the game, and stranded 16 runners on base. Theriot has a hit in three straight games, and is batting .359 so far in July.

June 22, 2009

Ryan Theriot went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles in Monday's 2-0 loss at Atlanta.

Our View:

The Cubs were unable to score any runs over 10 hits in the game, and stranded 19 men on base. Theriot extended his hitting streak to eight games, with 11 total hits over the span. Keep him active in fantasy lineups while he is hot.

June 14, 2009

Ryan Theriot had the game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the ninth to give the Cubs a 3-2 win over the Twins. Theriot was 2-for-3 with two RBI on the game.

Our View:

Theriot's hit was huge for the Cubs, and he really came through under pressure today. Theriot is having a nice season so far, and his versatility makes him valuable in most fantasy formats.

May 29, 2009

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Ryan Theriot is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers due to the flu. He is being replaced by Andres Blanco at shortstop.

Our View:

The Cubs have had the flu going around the locker room for the past week or so, and Theriot looks to be the latest victim. He should be fine in a few days, but he is not available today.

May 27, 2009

Ryan Theriot was 3-for-3 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Our View:

Theriot is only hitting .287 this season, but has shown a surprising amount of pop with five homers, 11 doubles and 21 RBI. Still, that brief surge was likely a fluke. Today's day with three singles in more what you can expect from the diminutive shortstop.

May 15, 2009

Ryan Theriot commented on the rumor that he used steroids, according to the Chicago Tribune. He said, "I kind of laugh a little bit. I guess everybody is entitled to their own opinion. It is unfortunate that it has come to this. But I guess you can write whatever you want to write, and it is up to the readers to forumlate their own opinion."

Our View:

Theriot stopped drinking protein shakes in 2005, and stopped doing supplements too, out of concern of having some wrong ingredient pop up in a test. The rumor likely started as he already hit five homers this season, after hitting a total of seven homers over his previous three campaigns with Chicago.

May 13, 2009

Little Ryan Theriot crushed another two homers on Wednesday night. He was 2-for-3 with two RBI in the Cubs 6-4 win that was cut short after eight innings due to weather.

Our View:

No one, and I mean no one, saw this coming. The sprightly Theriot, who hit all of one home run last season, now has five and has driven in 17 runs on the year. Look out Albert Pujols, the little man may be nipping at your heels in a week at this pace.

May 4, 2009

Ryan Theriot homered again on Monday, leading the Cubs to a 4-2 win. He has hit three home runs in the last four days.

Our View:

Theriot's transition to power hitter is nearly complete. Not really, but his power surge in the last few games has been a nice added bonus to owners. Don't expect the power to continue, but he is still a decent fantasy player.

May 2, 2009

Ryan Theriot went 2-for-5 with a triple, homer, one run, and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Marlins. It is his second straight game with a home run.

Our View:

Theriot jacked only one long ball over 580 at-bats in 2008, and even he is likely laughing about going deep two days in a row. Don't expect this to become a trend.

May 1, 2009

Ryan Theriot only had one hit on Friday, but it was a huge one. Theriot hit a sixth inning grand slam off of Marlins' reliever Burke Badenhop to help the Cubs to an 8-6 victory over Florida.

Our View:

This was Theriot's first homer of the season, and boy was it a big one. He is hitting .310 on the season, and he has five stolen bases. This grand slam was a nice added bonus for fantasy owners, but don't expect this on a regular basis.

April 12, 2009

Ryan Theriot was 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base, an RBI, and two runs scored as the Cubs beat the Brewers 8-5 on Sunday.

Our View:

The shortstop is hitting .550 through six games this season and he already has three doubles and two stolen bases. He appears to be in line for another good season with the Cubs and should be owned, at least as a reserve, in most leagues.
