There is if you want a left-handed bat in left. I'm the biggest Tommy La Stella fan in the world. The problem is the numbers game. Right now, they want an outfielder that hist left-handed on the bench. La Stella is many things, but he is not an outfielder or out of options.
Let's say that the Cubs want a LH outfilder. You want that against a RHP. You're basically saying you want to keep Bryant in the lineup at the expense of an outfielder, likely Soler. So, if you are to make that change, you are better served moving Bryant to LF and playing La Stella at 3B than you are if you keep Bryant at 3B and replace Soler with Coghlan in LF.
Keeping La Stella makes the team both better offensively and defensively.

I was addressing Maximus' point of the Soler is hurt scenario. La Stella is better than Cogs. Cogs is insurance against outfield injuries and he doesn't have options. That is the calculus. The Star will be around Sept. 1.
