Though he’s seemingly been vanquished several times before, Chris Coghlan just keeps turning back up like a bad penny or the baddie in a slasher film. He’s certainly got a pretty ugly slash with AAA Iowa so far, starting out 0-for-13 and batting .188/.257/.313 with nine strikeouts through 34 plate appearances. But blessed as he his with an unprecedented concentration of gritichlorian particles, don’t be surprised at all when Coghlan’s name once again finds itself on Joe Maddon’s lineup card.
The 33-year-old outfielder has already resurrected his career twice with the Cubs, the first time after falling from Rookie of the Year grace with the Marlins.
