Can he play shortstop and hit more than his wife’s weight? Otherwise, he can’t help the Padres.
Math&Baseball
He’s 28, has had success in the majors, and is controllable till 2020.He’s a year younger than Rzepczynski who’s only controllable till 2017.
Theilbar also has shown he can hold righties given his .220 average against him career wise. Rzepczynski has a .275 righty average career wise- both with about the same sample size. Always need lefty pitching whether its starting or bullpen him. I’m sure Rzepczynski and Theilbar look better than Garces and Rearick.

We need lefty relievers who can actually get lefties out. Torres and Garces both couldn’t get lefties out.
