Rookies, especially rookies who you can convincingly say could have started the year at AAA and spent most of the year there, are going to be rough on the basepaths and make mistakes. I'm expecting that. Monday's putout at first, completely what I expect. Getting picked off stealing 3rd...he should only IMO be going when there's a "Go" sign from the dugout.
Yep, he has to show some instincts out there. If he almost gets picked off, he should really shorten his lead a bit. If Abreu is on deck with 1 out, don't do anything dumb. At this point, Abreu is steroid-era Barry Bonds compared to the rest of the team.
