While that might seem to be a problem on paper, Klentak has built a roster of hitters that should afford Mackanin plenty of opportunities to get guys at bats and ride whoever happens to have a hot bat at a given time. Coghlan and Howie Kendrick form a potential lefty/righty rotation in left field, but Kendrick has fairly even platoon splits. Both players have played some first base, Kendrick more so than Coghalan who has nonetheless logged 40 innings at the position in his career. So if Coghlan happens to be playing well, or if Tommy Joseph needs a break, or if Joseph happens to be scuffling and the Phillies are facing a tough righty, first base is a spot where Coghlan could give Mackanin another LHB in the lineup.
