Ryan Theriot takes over at shortstop due to his hot hitting for the Chicago Cubs
The Cubs can’t blame their poor start on Ryan Theriot. Theriot has played in 20 games so far this season and he’s 19 for 56 (.339 avg, .737 OPS) with 10 runs scored, 6 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. He has been so good that he has taken the starting job at shortstop away from Cesar Izturis. Look for him to keep the job for a long time as long as he continues to hit the ball.
