    His OPS is .616 so far. He's looked better at the plate, but so far the results have not been good. I think he needs to be above .700 to stay in the lineup given his defensive issues.

    I think 700 is still pathetic considering what he gives up in the field.

    I'd say .750, but I always have to remember how much I despise Uggla as a player and not let that color my view. I can subscribe to sturg33's view that this is all about Uggla getting every chance to succeed and then move his butt if La Stella is deemed ready.

    I still have questions about La Stella, but I'm ready to hand the job to him.

    I think giving Pastor a shot would yield pleasant results.

    I don't think anyone on the current roster is a better option than Uggla. But I think LaStella would be

    They're playing something like 16 straight days. Have a clue.

    I don't get the love for LaStella. Why couldn't he beat Pastronicky for a spot on the roster? I understand he wasn't going to supplant Uggla coming out of ST, but if laStella is so good why didn't he make the roster?

    From spring training, I don't think La Stella's defense would be an improvement over Uggla's. But his hitting would.

    Because you'd rather a good hitting prospect playing ever day than riding the bench
