Hopefully the time off allowed him to focus and being completely healthy will allow him to finish strong.

Does anyone have the book on Desmond’s defense? We talk so much about his bat, but if Guzman IS traded away is Desmond at least capable of being a defense first placeholder until his bat develops further or a more talented SS prospect (Smiley Gonzalez I’m talking about you) is ready in say 2011?
