4-man bench, man. 4-man bench. And too many 1B types on the roster. I wouldn't have added Darin Ruf to begin with. I wasn't fond of J.D. Davis' skill set either, but he had at least XP at wobbling around the hot corner. Ruf has played one inning at 3B in the majors, in 2014, probably in circumstances similar to what got Canha there today.

Actually, I looked that up. It was more of a harrumph appearance on August 2, 2014. Phillies were losing 11-0 to the Gnats in the eighth and Ruf and Andres Blanco replaced Jimmy Rollins and Chase Ugly in "whatever!" fashion. Ruf was the third third baseman for Philly that day, following Cody Asche and Reid Brignac. Ruf handled a grounder by Asdrubal Cabrera for an out in his only chance at 3B.

There's some names you haven't had screamed at you in highlights for a long time.
