Olivo is apparently already close to returning.

I sure as heck hope not. I'm enjoying watching Jaso hit.

Yeah, Miggy's eight game hitting streak before the injury doesn't play very well into the crybaby equation, huh? I still like Jaso. He nailed that toss to second base in the final game w/ the Twins was a good sign. One hell of a lot better than the attempt Montero made the other day.

Wait, what? I didn't bother to read the articles, but was there some debate as to Olivio being better than Saunders in 2012?
Not a chance.
Michael Saunders OPS+ 108
Miguel Olivio OPS+ 64 (4 more then Figgins)
In other words Olivio is 34% worse offensively than the average AL hitter, and Saunders is about 8% better.
OPS+ = 100 * ( OBP/lgOBP + SLG/lgSLG - 1)/BPF

It was two separate articles. There was no comparison of Saunders to Olivo.
