Flas, I hope you're not suggesting that Pence should be called up to take up OP's role, i.e., pinch hitter. That would be a terrible idea, and detrimental to his development. As a practical matter, Pence would have to be able to start in CF or RF, which means the Astros would have to give up on Burke and/or Scott. It is too early to do that. Also, a June/July call up makes more sense because it may give the Astros an extra year of his services for arbitration/free agency purposes. It's hard for fans to be patient...but the best thing is to wait and see what the situation is in a couple of months.
