[Simulacrum]

Time to drop him, folks.

Sep 13 ESPNews reports San Francisco Giants CL Armando Benitez (knee) will miss the rest of the season.

ya but he wasn't even the giants closer any more and rarely saw action, so his impact has been minimal since mike stanton won the job.

Stanton never "won" the job. Benitez was sitting because of his bad knees. Once he was healthy again, he would have assumed closing duties. I'm sure there were a number of people still holding onto Benitez in close Saves races.

I knew to drop him after watching his production a few weeks before the injury...he was struggling

The Giants have a tough call next season because Benitez is under contract for one more season and is owed $7.6M
