    http://m.mlb.com/news/article/113321366/marlins-speedster-dee-gordon-changing-his-slide

    Dee Gordon stole more bases than anybody in the Major Leagues last year. So why is the Marlins' speedster looking to change what's working? Safety. In Spring Training, Gordon is working on sliding feet-first,...
    "You get banged up more when you head-first slide," Gordon said.


    The 26-year-old second baseman has the scar to prove it. All he has to do is look at his right hand. While with the Dodgers in 2012, he suffered a UCL tear to his right thumb.


    "Stealing my 30th base," Gordon said.

    So...how's that working out for you, Einstien?

    More like he needs to remember what he has allegedly learned already. He got injured a second time by not doing what he was supposedly working on in the spring to prevent what happened from happening.

    If you can believe it, he was more athletic than this 2yrs ago before his ACL tear.

    Some of his turnovers have been straight up rookie mistakes...the backcourt violation, stepping out of bounds on the sideline, etc.

    Clarkson is gonna be Russell's saving grace this year by defending opposing PGs and guys like Harden. Russell's not there physically yet. Which is OK. He's 19. Gotta show the weight room a little love and make a bit of a transformation.

    he does act like a fool sometimes
    but he's also deceptively good -- his boxing skills are amazingly good for a ufc fighter
    and we now know he can take a punch and can hold his own against a grappler
    plus he's irish :irish:
    that said, aldo will be a tough challenge

    C : Upshaw, Hibbert, Black
    PF: Randle, Bass, Nance
    SF: Kobe, Veteran, Brown
    SG: Clarkson, Swag
    PG: Russel, Lou

    First team of young guys plus Kobe where he runs a lot and gets fed by Clarkson and Russell for easy baskets.
    Second team of veterans plus Kobe where he gets to rest letting Lou and Swag lead the charge offensive while he helps facilitate and stunt on D.
    Third team of Black, Nance, Brown, with Lou and Swag.
    A tough defensive SF would be a nice fit to backup Kobe and play with gunners Swag and Lou.
    Metta?
    :D

    What happened was unfortunate but he happens to be forgetting how to be consistently working on preventing what happened from happening and happening again and again. Because of this, he happens to miss the ASG because this keeps happening.

    It will come. John Wall had something like over 10 turnovers in his first Summer League game, big jump up from D1 to the League... shit you used to be able to get away with doesn't work here.

    He'll be fine.
