Agreed. Also by having Phillips as a third catcher, it allows you to pinch run for AJ and not worry about having no catchers after Toby. The September call-ups while usually they don't play too much, they often impact the game in subtle ways by giving teams more flexibility in the bullpen, on in the field in the baseballs, etc. If we are killing a team, we can use one of the scrubs sent up and not have to even think about DJ, Thornton, Dotel, bobby and such.
Agreed as well. Owens and Phillips will probably be the most useful callups we have. It's always nice to bring in extra pitchers in a blow out as well.
