Unless you’ve got a hobbled heavy set catcher who reaches in a late inning situation, why the hell do you burn a bench player as a pinch runner for someone who is not slow?

Because you don’t want the guy on base to play defense.

A. Kling was coming into the game in bottom half to lay defense anyway
B. Someone with Kling's speed can score from 1st on a ball in the gap.

Kling was going to centerfield anyway. Why not run him? Frey can run well, but Kling is still faster.

Frey hasn’t played in the field since the injury so Kling was going to replace him anyway, since Kling is faster there is no point in waiting.
