List players on the active roster right now that are better CF than Jay. Grichuk still hasn't thrown, Pham is AAAA filler, and Heyward--well maybe, but Heyward has played RF for almost all of his career and if you move Heyward to CF you have to stick Reynolds in right, probably.

I like what Pham has shown more so than jay. They pulled him as he was getting hot

I'll take Piscotty/Pham/Heyward or Piscotty/Bourjos/Heyward over a lineup with Jay in it. Bourjos' numbers are quite bad this year but he hasn't gotten consistent playing time and I like his skill set more than Jay's.

Jay is a career 2.89 hitter, and a very average one at that, with serious defensive limitations and now on the wrong side of 30 with some injuries under his belt.

This year is going to really drop his average then. Besides, his noodle arm and questionable defense just further diminishes his quality. .
