I'm guessing that the GM DID say play Beresford. It was a feel good story, a reward to him for toiling in the minors for so long and will likely be followed by releasing him in the offseason. Additionally, if he hadn't been playing Saturday, we lose that game. His diving play on the line drive shot behind 3B in foul territory saved at least one run, perhaps two. I'm not saying he should stay on the team after this season, but his play hasn't been disastrous. Him playing isn't keeping us for making the playoffs either.
