Believe it or not, this team has one of the top if not the top bullpens in the bigs. Not many have a Eyre-Hawkins-Benitez type combo to send out for the 7th 8th and 9th. Problem is Alou doesn't let them go out there an own an inning. One baserunner with a 4 run lead doen't warrant yanking Hawk out. It would even be fine with me to pair up Eyre with Accardo or Hawk for the 7th or 8th, respectively.

If Benitez can't pitch any better than Walker right now, he shouldn't be up filling a roster spot....I mean if he couldn't get loose in that sauna.. :hm
