4) Why wouldn't he pinch run Wells, and then catch Olivo in the top of the 10th? You'd still have Liddi for a right-handed pinch-hitter.
3) I think Saunders will get sent down not because of his mistake last night, but because he has 7 hits in 35 at-bats and is running a .635 OPS, and primarily because his approach has clearly regressed. Plus, Seager's production means that the one most likely to take over center field is Figgins - which will necessitate keeping Liddi on the roster until Guti is healthy.
8) When your best free agent signings are Russell Branyan in '09 and David Pauley in '10 (a minor league deal, and even then really only had half a good season in '11 before the trade), I'm concerned. His talent evaluation in the draft more than makes up for this concern. But, it's still a concern.
