That said, I am not sure if I even want him to come back. I mean, do we really think he will be an improvement over Galvis at this point? Galvis is probably playing over his head right now offensively but I have the feeling that you are replacing a speedy.250 hitter with a gimpy.250 hitter. I am really wondering if resigning J-Roll was a good idea but that is another story. This is not a Jim Thome, Ryan Howard situation, but at what point do we come to the realization that the Chase Utely we know and love is gone....and no amount of rehab will bring him back.
