Garner should've subbed in Rolen

Cabrera is a terrible 3B. If Rolen was in the gm, Konerko's grounder would have been the final out. Instead, Cabrera barely took one step even though the ball was right by him.

Hoffman is a choker, I think longtime baseball fans know that, but Garner deserves half the blame.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Garner and Guillen did as good a job as they could in this game, considering the constraints any All-Star Game manager is facing from the start. There's no guarantee that Rolen gets to the grounder.
