[DC 86]

Put him  or Listella or ?? on the 10 day dl and wait for the real dl which we know is going to happen with this team. He was way more valuable than  these replacements.

LaStella was coming off the IL.  That is why Dubon was going to be DFA’d.  However, SF found a willing trade partner to take him off their hands for a catcher who was needed in case of an injury since they had no one else in the organization capable of playing C at the big league level.  Given Casali’s concussion, I think Zaidi was, once again, ahead of the curve.  

Dubon (.236/.241/.382) is a good guy but he is not as good a player as LaStella (.304/.333/.696).

I agree with everything you said, but come on, you can't declare LaStella a better player (although he is) based on his 23 at-bats this season.
