He's an idiot if he wants guaranteed playing time. How can he ask for that when he can't give a guarantee that he'll be healthy for that playing time?

No one can give a guarantee that they will be healthy for their playing time.

Per Rotoworld

Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said Thursday that he has no plans to reach out to free agent Scott Rolen.

Some have speculated that the Dodgers could reach out to Rolen now that Hanley Ramirez (thumb) will be out until late-May, but they plan to move ahead with internal options. As of now, Luis Cruz is likely to fill in at shortstop while Juan Uribe, Nick Punto and Jerry Hairston, Jr. will alternate at third base. Dee Gordon could also be an option at shortstop.
