So we get this guy, Freddy Guzman, and they say, "He's the next Dave Roberts!" And everybody's thinking, let's put him in and see if it's true...

... Because frankly, if he's the next Dave Roberts, he's a pinch runner who cannot be stopped. He's the guy who steals second when everybody knows he's going to run. And in the big series -- you know, like the one where Dave Roberts killed us? -- it sure would be nice to have a guy who can steal at any time.

So we get Freddy Guzman, who is supposed to Mr. Unstoppable on the basepaths, in early September, and I'm thinking, "I can't wait to see this guy steal second."

That was three weeks ago.

He hasn't tried. Not once.

Yeah, we do have Brett Gardner, but he might be in CF, which means if Jorge gets on in the 9th, well, could we have had the next Dave Roberts or not?

    Obviously it has more to do with Joe Girardi than Freddy Guzman or even Dave Roberts.

    We are either hiding this asset from future playoff contenders, or his base-stealing acumen is a flat out lie or...he pulled his groin muscle and will be ready in 4-6 weeks.
