Yes, he will...

Cesar Izturis, that is. Be missed.

I'm glad that Sarah D. Morris shares my sentiments towards the great Dodger shortstop. The following are some of her thoughts on Cesar:

"To me, Izturis at 26 is in the same class as [Ozzie] Smith at 26.
Although Izturis doesn't have much experience, a little over three
Major League seasons, he has shown an ability to be a better
defensive shortstop than Smith."


"Izturis has an incredible range and gets to the balls that nearly all other
shortstops don't. He has lightning-quick reflexes and soft hands that
cradle ground balls. Despite having Tommy John surgery to correct
an arthritic elbow condition, Izturis has a strong, accurate arm."

Now, his abilities are going to benefit the Chicago Cubs...
