I doubt even the Phillies would take the backlash from placing a .150 hitter in the lineup, or at least I hope. Chris Coste played well at third base last year for Scranton, and I think he can hold down the job. What's convenient here is that this move also frees up a spot on the 40 man roster for Randy Wolf.
This is a really good point. The trade makes Charlie's job a little easier. The roster spot for Wolf is created.
As far as I'm concerned, I hope this is just the beginning.
Al: What do you think about the pitcher that was acquired?
