Nov 1 LHP J.A. Happ hasn't made a start since Oct. 11, but that isn't why he's not starting Game 4 of the World Series. It's because the Phillies believe Happ is more valuable in the bullpen during the postseason. With Cole Hamels unable to survive the fifth inning in Game 3 on Saturday night, manager Charlie Manuel called on Happ, who has experience coming out of the bullpen and the versatility to pitch in short or long relief. Happ replaced Hamels and got the final two outs of the inning, then gave up a home run to Nick Swisher in his one full inning. "I'll use him wherever I can," Manuel said before the game, although he hoped he wouldn't need him in this situation. "That's why he's down there." Yahoo! Sports
