Update: Theriot has been traded to the Cardinals for Blake Hawksworth(notes), Ken Gurnick from MLB.com reports.
Recommendation: The Cardinals have talked about wanting to improve the offense they got from their middle infield, so this should be viewed in that light. But is Theriot really that much of an improvement? He has a career .354 OBP, but the last time he was at that level or above was in 2008. Meanwhile, his range had diminished enough at shortstop for him to get displaced by Starlin Castro(notes) last summer. He’ll probably split time between second and shortstop for the Card
