Remember what Rizzo said when he released Daniel Cabrera? "I was tired of watching him." The D-Backs picked him up on waivers and after six appearances, they were tired of watching him, too.<br /><br />It's not like all that's standing between us and a good BP is a lights-out Henry. It's not 2008; we don't need to keep him and pray that he'll come around and help us field a decent team. Again, right now, we are tied for the best record in baseball with the New York Yankees.

If they see potential, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.<br /><br />Davey obviously thought he could move HRod up to a minorly-stressful 4-run lead. (And it appeared HRod struck that second guy out). He didn't. Everyone would have agreed it was worth a try, if it had worked.
