Starting Guard Battle? Should Throckmorton supplant Peat/Ruiz when McCoy returns?

Since McCoy went down, we have had a lot of issues with guard and center play. Throckmorton is new to the lineup, but it seems to me like Ruiz and Peat have received as much or more criticism. So, what happens when McCoy returns? Has Throckmorton outplayed Peat and Ruiz? All else being equal he is younger, cheaper, healthier, and has good size. Do we have to start the guy with the big contract or the high pick? Or can we start the best player? Would a benching light a fire under Peat or Ruiz?
