...minor league deal?
seems weird since they kept fontenot
Maybe they'll have to compete for a spot?
AWKWARD!

Where have you gone, Kiko Calero. A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
If I were an MLB player
SF would be my second choice after the Cubs.

If I were a utility infielder just trying to make a club, SF would be my first choice... ;-)

He's finally on the right side
of the Dodgers-Giants rivalry! Bigtime winner!
SF has really given up on offense.

Maybe they wanted his power ability.
Buster Olney tweeted this a few days ago:
Don’t be surprised if the Phillies look to add a utility man who can add a little more pop than Wilson Valdez—somebody like Ryan Theriot.
What? Maybe he’s got more pop than Valdez, but c’mon, Theriot doesn’t hit hardly anything hard.

What makes Olney's tweet even funnier is this:
Valdez’s career SLG: .330
Theriot’s career SLG: .353
It would have literally been a “little more pop.”

McCovey Cove!
His power to right field should put 30-40 homers a year into the bay. They must be so psyched.

Future naming rights
They can rename a small area of grass between the second baseman and the right fielder “The Riot Patch”.

He'll make them ALL forget about Barry Bonds (if they haven't already)...
…Is there another ring in his future? Ya gotta like his agent.
Giant Riot?

Actually, Scales does return
Cubs just signed him to a minor league deal.

Couldn't stand him when he was on the Cubs,
really started to hate him when he was on the Cardinals.

I giggled like a little girl while watching this.
Whoever put that video together, well, I’d like to shake their hand.

Just wee-un.

0:45 holds a special place in my heart
it perfectly shows off how terrible theriot’s arm is
Just wee-un.

That was awesome!

The greatest thing about that video
Is that it goes for 3:30 and doesn’t include a single baserunning gaffe. This is begging to be made into a trilogy.
Excellent idea.

Part I: Fielding
Part II: TOOTBLANS
Part III: Swinging for the fences at high strikes

Riot obviously has high standards,
playing only for classic, old-line NL franchises. Wouldn’t surprise me to hear he turned down a three-year deal from the Marlins.

It looks like Pujols is so fed up on some that he just pulls his foot off the bag and gives up.
It’s like he’s saying, “You don’t deserve to get anyone out with that throw.”

maybe he went to the AL to avoid having to play as a teammate of Riot again
Q: Why did Theo Epstein cross the road?
A: To Dump Garza
yeah
back with fontenot.and they both have world series rings.and they had to leave the cubs to get them.
Agree
I don’t understand the intense hatred he seems to generate. He made a correct comment about the right side of the rivalry and many people got all in hissy fit. How many of those same people loved it when “The Riot” was starting for the Cubs?
He has always been the same player. He is a limited skill player who always projected as a utility player.
John Grabow - Who will pay you $4.8 million in 2012?
Some people were okay with him as a league minimum player to fill a need...
No one LIKED him as the starting SS, and no one except for Theriot thought he was worth anything close to 3M. We all knew he had a terrible arm, bad baserunning skills and an average at best slap hitting bat.
Of course there were some people who become obsessed over some ridiculous players (Jake Fox, Theriot, etc), but they do not in any way speak for the majority of Cubs fans on this board. The arb hearing and stupid comments by Theriot took him from a, “meh, don’t really care about him,” to what he is today.

he's a better athlete and baseball player than any of you
and he’s a lot richer too.

That. Hurt.
Where have you gone, Kiko Calero. A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
i guess i'll stop criticizing every single athlete on the planet
damn
Just wee-un.

Psst, mention the ring.
You didn’t mention the ring.
