I know the Cubs like Coghlan. Hell I like Coghlan. But it doesn't make sense to keep an inferior player like Coghlan on the roster when you have the better option in La Stella.
It does when you get to keep the asset as insurance against injury AND have La Stella when it matters. La Stella isn't a factor day to day. His WAR is minuscule. His value over Cogs is incremental by any measure. By not having La Stella for a month, you get them both for the stretch run and the playoffs. It makes the most sense from that perspective. The problem is treating La Stella's value as much higher than it really is. He's a good, useful player, but he isn't good enough to push another decent asset onto another contender's roster.
