Why is Flaherty still on the team?

My thought is that he is supposed to be a utility guy that was supposed to be used sparingly. But since we really don't have a full-time second baseman, he gets plugged in way more than he should. He's about as easy of an out as the pitchers slot in the NL.

Part of me was thinking, "why not call up Lombardozzi instead for that role?"
... then I noticed that Flaherty bats left. That's probably why.

Or better yet, go "all in" and pick up Utley for our run. Cut ties with Flaherty already...

I'd like to see them get Neil Walker but i don't know that Pitt would deal him.
