If Goodwin bombs, you try Phillips. If Phillips bombs, you have Bonifacio. If Bonifacio bombs, well...your scouting has proved terrible.
Any of those options defensively are better than Soler is anyway. So why bother?
obviously not 162 games. I just don't like all the platooning. Guys need reps, they need at-bats, they need to grind out a full season to see what they are.
I'm not being nearly as extreme as y'all are casting me as.
