[tag]Ryan Theriot[/tag] was slated to play a lot of second base for the [tag]Chicago Cubs[/tag] in 2007 until Mark DeRosa came to town in the off season. Now, he’s filling in at third base for the injured Aramis Ramirez. Theriot is putting up some good numbers. The question is, how long will Theriot be kept out of the every day lineup?

“I’m going to play the people who are getting the job done, and he’s hit the ball,” Piniella said of Theriot, who went 8-for-12 (.667) in the Cincinnati series with three RBI.

ZiPS projects Theriot at .275/.335/.356 with 2 home runs and 17 stolen bases if he reaches 400 at bats. He may be ready for picking up in NL only leagues. He’s ok for short term help in deep mixed leagues, but shouldn’t be considered for full time work until we’re sure he’s going to get those 400 AB’s.
