If you're going to be put on the spot and made a fool as a position player coming in to pitch in a blowout game, come out guns blazing like Goins did. He had an absolute cannon for an arm.

Goins ended up with a forearm strain though.

Totally worth it. And he'd be the first to tell you he was damn proud of retiring the side.

Sucks because Nance has shown enough to keep around.  Cant even imagine the decisions if Garcia/Sandlin are healthy enough soon. 

I don't think Nance is going anywhere once Bieber is activated. It's just a waste of assets to lose Nance for nothing and I expect that Fluharty will likely be the odd man out. If/when Garcia is ready to come back that creates another difficult decision, but with Sandlin I believe he has options remaining and can also be sent to Buffalo.

Garcia sounds like he's just about done.

Would be a shame if they sent down Flu because he’s been great lately

Fluharty hit legend status with his big showing against the Dodgers!! Gotta keep him around. :) Can't do that to a legend.

The one thing Fluharty has in his advantage is that he's our only other lefty in the pen. That makes him extremely valuable. I don't think he's going anywhere unless he f***s up.

They arent going to DFA anyone for Bieber, they still have 1 space on the 40 man.

As far as sending someone down... yeah, Fluharty doesnt deserve to be sent down... but neither do Varland, Little, or Fisher...the only other reliever with options. 

If Fluharty going down means Lauer goes to the pen to be the 2nd lefty instead and you don't have to lose anyone off the roster... why wouldn't you do that instead of losing Nance for nothing?
