Bruce Levine says the following answer from Ryan Theriot demonstrates that he is one of the better "team guys" in baseball:
Ask Theriot if he would consider moving out of his position at shortstop if rookie Starlin Castro came on strong this spring, Theriot responded, "That's a great question."
"A challenge is good, competition is good, I think it brings out the best in all of us," Theriot said. "Do I want to play shortstop? Of course, it's my natural position, that's where I've been my whole life. In the same breath, I think too often, us as professional athletes get caught up in what we're doing instead of what's best for the team. I think what's best for the Cubs is that we win. If it makes us a better ballclub with me at second base and Starlin at shortstop, then that's fine I'll be more than happy to see that happen, if that make us a better ballclub."
Which is a long way of saying: "If I don't agree to move to second, I won't get to play." That just makes him a realist - not necessarily a great team guy.
It's all in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.
