Interesting...

All it took was a couple of scoreless outings by Joakim Soria to put him back into the closer role, eh? Okay, so...

A) If the Royals are planning on shopping him this Summer, good move.

B) If the Royals are planning on keeping Soria, questionable move.

"A" is simply because if the Royals want to get more than a slightly-used Justin Bieber CD in return for Soria on the trade market, they'll have to hope Soria can string together some good outings and a closer/bullpen-desperate team will consider his struggles this year a fluke.

"B" is simply because if you're going to remove somebody from a role because of struggling, I think more than two outings is needed to prove he's back.

And as I'm writing this, he's teetering on the edge of blowing another one. Oh, the drama!

UPDATE: I don't care that he got the save -- needing 28 pitches to get through the bottom of the Toronto Blue Jays order isn't really encouraging.
