Couldn't agree more with all of your outtakes on this one. Snit's handling of relief pitchers looks clueless to me. Frustrating.

Frustrating #2: Alex Verdugo. I'll add all the "timeless wonders" that Alex has signed this season in lieu of real ballplayers, which includes Rosario, Montero, de la Santos and Verdugo. OK: he was good for a month. But why not allow the speedy White to play in lieu of Verdugo. Last I saw Whhite had a better batting average against BOTH lefties and righties as Verdugo. And, Alex, I bet there is another manager/GM out there who may be repeating your disrespect for a guy who worked his way up thru 10-years of minors (remember Grant Holmes? He didn't turn out too bad). Why, these guys might turn out to be better (clubhouse, long-run batting avg., defense, speed) than the has-beens you're bringing in.

Btw, I couldn't see last night: did Verdugo get the "go on" from third base coach? Or did he do it on his own?
