From the hand injury to Gerardo Parra, the struggles of Ian Desmond (don’t worry, I won’t bash him after he hit a pair of home runs on Friday against the Angels), and to the re-addition of Carlos Gonzalez, Bud Black has had his hands full with what to do with his lineup. Now there is a new storyline: The resurgence of David Dahl.
A couple of weeks ago, I had already written off Dahl of having any chance of making the Opening Day roster. After missing all of last season with a stress fracture in his ribs, as expected, he had a lot of rust to shake off.
