IS BJ our Manny?

Stay connected for news and updates

The thought occured tonight as after Upton laced one up the 3B line and suddenly Manny attacks the ball with all the speed of a Old Timer's Game player and BJ inexplicably jogs to 1st and 2nd with all the gusto that would make Aubrey Huff look like Michael Johnson running the 200m.  I believe every other player on the Rays would make it to 3rd on that play, but because it is a hit to LF, Upton never bothers to look for more than a double.   Which likely cost the Rays a run.

Besides the hustle on the basepaths when it suits me attitude, BJ also has the hit the cutoff man once a week attitude, and the 'forgetting not to overrun the bag when the ball is in close proximity' attitude.

[Standard obligatory disclaimer - Yes I know that BJ, talented though he may be, is no Manny in terms of offensive production.]
