Cogs had a pretty hard hit ball in his first AB last night for a single. Looked terrible striking out in his second, but I'm not sure you'll get much better from Soler, who certainly won't see any hittable FBs from a guy as smart about pitching as Lackey is. Yeah but the guy is seeing the ball great, and is taking his walks. If they don't want to throw him hitable pitches then he'll be standing on first. You missed the most important part there......hittable fastballs. He'll get strikes, but they'll be on breaking balls that he's shown very little ability to hit. He gets a couple strikes on him and then he's susceptible to the slider out of the zone. I just like Coghlan better in this spot and as soon as Lackey is gone, put Soler in the game to dong away.
