I still don't understand why they don't come up with a mystery 'injury' for Soler, Davis and Dozier and use that as an excuse to send them down on rehab assignments.
I couldn't agree more on the 'clean' inning for Barlow. Singer was already at 94 pitches and while he did work through some spots, I thought he was living on the edge for much of the night.
Sit him with his pitch count and let Barlow get it going. That is one thing that I did appreciate about Ned - his designated pitcher roles.
I'd sign Soler to a minor league deal in a heartbeat. But I imagine there are plenty of other teams willing to do a minor league deal with him, and at this point if stuck to a minor league deal I assume he'd want a change of scenery.
