It's being reported that the Dodgers have traded Ryan Theriot to the St. Louis Cardinals.  This coming off the Dodgers recent signing of infielder Juan Uribe.

The Cardinals are thrilled about this deal as Theriot gives them more depth in the infield and meets all three criteria the Cardinals look for with their position players:

1. They're overrated
2. They're always referred to as "scrappy"
3. They're Caucasian

Move over David Eckstein.  You got some company in the Cardinals Hall of Overrated Mediocrity.

This also just in.  Wolter's Firebarn Threat Level has been raised from taupe to burnt umber.  Remain vigilant* people!

*and by vigilant I mean woefully apathetic.
