When Oswalt comes up, do you think they send down a pootiisn player? I think Herndon, Perez, and Francisco are all send-downable unless any of them are out of options. They are all valuable pieces in a worst case scenario situation, but also somewhat expendable given the current makeup.Another interesting note from last night was that with Lidge back, we still had a quality guy in the pen if the game kept going. And this is inspite of Hamels uncharacteristically short outing. This fact gives me confidence that if the Phillies are in a 2-2 game against the Braves or Giants after 9 innings, and one of the aces has gone 8, that they still have four plus quality innings of relief with Stutes, Bastardo, Madson, and Lidge (in no particular order).
