There was no other position player left on the bench, was there ? no, but if bynum's good enough to start against a righty, why not let him hit there? similarly, why ph walker for neifi when you brought neifi in a few innings earlier to play 2b? guess baker's got to get his double switch fix in somehow. It does boggle the mind at times.
