He gets a lot of criticism but last night he pulled the right strings.

1. Giving Stubbs a breather and getting Heisey in the lineup paid off.
2. Going with Smith and Bray instead of Massett in a close game.

I'm wondering if Rolen needs some rest though. Seems like he's playing a lot. I'm worried he'll get worn down at this pace like last year. Maybe it's time for Renteria to make an appearance at 3b.
