On one hand the news of calling up Chris Coughlan and putting him at a position where he hasn't played since Litthe League days isn't a terrible idea. Coughlan is a very highly touted prospect, and the Marlins .238 combined average proves the "home run or strikeout" lineup doesn't do a lot of good without plenty of Option A. And, let's face it, the Fish's defense is going to be terrible until the roster goes through a major facelift. That's what happens when you take players who have plenty of skill but aren't fully developed in the minor leagues, and put them in the Show a year early.
But, on the other hand, are we serious here? Have you ever heard of a major league team assigning someone a position they haven't played since the 7th grade? Maybe other things than the Marlins payroll comes closer to mirroring Westminster Christian than a MLB team.
And of course, this is the same franchise that canned Joe Giardi because of stuff like this. Funny that Miguel Cabrera is now at......oh yeah first base!
