I really, really, REALLY think this statement needs more attention here guys. Is anyone else concerned that Theriot would be the best fielding SS on the roster?

Eh, Cedeno wasn't a good SS either. He had nice range and got to some plays Theriot wouldn't, but he also blew a ton of routine plays. He has a career .961 fielding percentage there. That's pathetic. The lowest fielding % in the league last year for shortstops that qualified statistically was .967 from Hanley Ramirez.
Theriot and Miles don't have good range or great arms, but they won't kill you there.
