I guess it just depends on if the team is winning for not.
As for the errors thing, I'm guessing that his range is excellent compared to Theriot at SS. Most of his errors are on throws, for which we have a guy at first that is notorious for cutting those down.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
A broomstick with a bucket overturned on its top has better range than Theriot, so it shouldn't be all that hard to upgrade in that department. Theriot has him beat in pretty much everything else, though.

But this isn't about replacing Theriot. It's about Theriot replacing Fontenot and Cabrera becoming the SS. There's nothing about adding Cabrera and purging Fontenot that makes this team worse.

I don't disagree with this:
Cabrera + Theriot > Theriot + Fontenot
But I'm just not overly impressed with Cabrera for many reasons. If we're going for an high-defense, light-bat SS, then we could go cheaper and younger than O-Cab.
