Mike Remlinger was designated for assignment after Saturday night's game at Tampa Bay. "You've been around here long enough, you get a feel for something's gotta give, but you never really want to fully believe that it's you," Remlinger said as he emptied his locker. "I'm at that point where if someone else is interested and it fits for my desires and my family's needs, then I'll consider it. If this is the end of the road, then I'm in a lot better place handling it than I was last year at this time. You get to the point where you start to realize that ability-wise, day in and day out, it's not what you expect. There's been stretches where it's been good and stretches where it hasn't been. "And for what this team's going through right now, they've got other needs they need to address."
