I love the deal. DeWitt can play 2B, but is better at 3B. It gives the Cubs the opportunity to have an actual backup at 3B if Ramirez gets hurt again. It also allows them the possibility to try to deal ARam or possibly move him to 1B (if that's a possibility). Theriot is a douchnozzle and a piss poor baseball player. The fact that there's a bunch of know-nothing Cubs fans stuck with Theriot jerseys makes me happy. The pitching prospects are just that, we'll see if they pan out. However, I think it's a pretty decent haul for 2 months of Lilly and a dump of a shitty MI that wasn't gonna be offered arbitration anyway.
