Quote: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....
Quote:Aug. 17 News: Walker is about to get some rest as closer, possibly in favor of LaTroy Hawkins, says his manager. Spin: "I would like to give [Tyler] Walker the day off," manager Felipe Alou said before Wednesday's game, according to the Giants' official site. "[Armando] Benitez has to pitch now. Any opportunity he can pitch, he'll pitch. He's getting to the point where he'll just walk out of the bullpen on his own." Alou also said that Benitez would begin action as a set-up man, rather than a closer. Walker will likely remain in contention for saves in the short-term, but if Benitez is healthy, and Hawkins does well, Walker could soon be a middle reliever.
