"Mark McGwire will begin the next stage of his baseball life as hitting coach of the Cardinals, but could manager Tony La Russa have something else in mind? La Russa told the Contra Costa Times that he might even consider using McGwire as a pinch-hitter.
"If we're in contention, we'll put him on the roster Aug. 31. It's a nice little dream," said La Russa. "Is it likely? Probably not. I don't think it's a zero possibility."
La Russa added that he expects McGwire to have a press conference by the end of the month and definitely before the start of spring training. Remember, Big Mac doesn't like to talk about the past (ESPN)."
Personally, I don't think McGwire should be aloud near an MLB field again, but that is completely biased. Still, he has been out of the game too long, and I just don't think he has anything in the tank to be a pinch hitter. My real question here is why would you put more of a spotlight on a guy who has done everything he can to avoid it?
