"He was the best player on the field today."

Screw Guz!
It's Ian Desmond or Bust in 2010!
Braves 11, Ian Desmond 8: Can we all agree not speak about Miguel Batista, Craig Stammen, and Jesse English? Deal? Good.
Ho-hum, just a 2-3 day for Desmond; just a grand slam and 6 RBI & a pair of reportedly stellar defensive plays at short.
But of course, Jim Riggleman is still a Guzman guy for some reason (via Nationals.com):
With all the excitement about Desmond's abilities, Riggleman had to remind the media that Cristian Guzman, the incumbent at short, has yet to play in a game this spring. Guzman, who is coming off shoulder surgery, is expected to play against the Mets on Saturday.
Boooo!!! Way to rain on our parade, Jim. Three spring training games in, and we're calling it: It's Desmond in a landslide!
