Jose Ascanio send down and Neal Cotts called up

Ok, this move is a little confusing I think. The Chicago Cubs have sent down Jose Ascanio to Triple-A Iowa and called up Neal Cotts. Reports are saying that Lou Piniella doesn’t fully trust Scott Eyre down in the bullpen and wanted to get another lefty in there.
Ok, so Ascanio throws the ball very well when given the chance and he still gets sent down for a player who has struggled in the past with the big league team? I don’t quite understand the move, but half the time us Cubs fans don’t know what Hendry and company are really thinking.
What do you think of this move?
