Ryan Stewart Theriot (/ˈtɛrioʊ/ TEER-rio; born December 7, 1979) is an American former professional baseball shortstop and second baseman. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, and San Francisco Giants.
A shortstop in college,[1] Theriot was converted to second base for his major league debut, but played shortstop throughout the 2007–2009 seasons.[2] Theriot then was switched back to second base to make room for rookie Starlin Castro, who took his spot at shortstop on May 7, 2010.[2]
