Baez Was Ready, but Wasn't Needed - Los Angeles Times
After blowing four consecutive save opportunities, Baez received the dreaded vote of confidence.
Yesterday, the Dodgers scored a run in the 9th to expand a three-run lead to four, and Grady Little decided to keep Joe Beimel out there to pitch the ninth and record the save.
No big deal except the report from this morning's LATimes says Little stayed up until 4Am going over his options.
I doubt Beimel would be the closer but Takishi Saito may be and a longer shot would be Jonathan Broxton.
If fellow big man Bobby Jenks can close as a rookie for the World Series champs, I do not see why Broxton couldn't step-in until Gagne returned.
