For some reason, Pat Gillick has it in for Chris Coste. The real life Rocky who gave the Phillies amazing at bats in their late season run last year was brushed aside so that the Phillies could pay $2 million on a catcher who is, without question, the worst at his position in baseball. Then, Coste came up a couple of months ago when Ryan Howard went down. He gave the Phillies some solid at bats, then was unceremoniously dumped to Reading. So what will happen now that Werth is on the DL and Coste has been called up? He will probably hit .333, throw out a few runners, and then be sent back to Reading so that Barajas can hit .209, not throw anybody out, and have runners slide through his legs. It makes perfect sense.
