The solution is easy to see. Simon has scuffled for more than a month as a starter because he's never pitched this many innings in a season. Just move him back to the pen so he can recuperate a little and stabilize what's become the worst Reds bullpen we've seen in at least a decade or two. Recall Axelrod pronto to join the rotation. We'll still be short a starter with both Simon and Bailey out of the picture, but so what? We aren't going to the playoffs this season. Time to bring up some fresh arms off the farm and get an advance bead on who might be serviceable for 2015.
