I don't really understand why it's Kalish going down instead of Coghlan. Kalish was the guy before the season, he has more positional versatility, they hit same handed, and Coghlan has done nothing to impress since joining the team(4 for 26, no XBH), so what changed?

Has to be that since Lake is playing well they feel like Kalish won't get many AB's in the near future. I don't care enough about Kalish to think too much about though.

Probably still want Kalish to play full time, versus not giving a [expletive] about Coghlan.

Kalish is 26, Ruggiano may need at least a somewhat platoon partner, and Schierholtz has one of the worst batting lines in baseball. I'd rather Kalish meet his future now and get the intermittent MLB PAs over some trivial hope that he becomes a league average OF.

Above all else let's make sure we keep 13 guys on our pitching staff

This. This bothers me more than the coghlan/Kalish thing

Oh geez it's been so long I completely forgot about that.

Why don't we just bring Manny up? He's a better hitter than all of our OF. (kidding, we need Manny down there teaching Javy to be Javy).
