Would depend on if he has the arm to handle it but LaStella would be a prime replacement.

Would love to see it. He certainly has the bat for it. I don't know if this is true but someone questioned his defense as the reason why didn't get called up this time after Pastor got hurt.Originally Posted by zitothebrave
La Stella's defense isn't really a concern, I can't get a feel on his arm though.

You see CJ make plays on balls hit right at him, so you think he is "adequate". There is more to being a good defensive player than being a human BP screen.
Every single defensive metric says he is poor. Even if those metrics aren't 100% accurate (or even 90% accurate), the fact that they ALL say he is bad means...he is bad.

Chris Johnson can play third for my club any time. Great hitter, decent defense. Building block for a championship club.

The answer to this question is still a resounding "no."
And I think defense gets overrated by stats like WAR and stuff. It's not unimportant, but CJ doesn't totally kill us the way Simmons saves us sometimes.

Or you could watch him play and form your own opinions.
Crazy concept I know.
