2010 Opening Day Roster

Lou said that Castro is going to start the year in AAA. Are they trying to do that to save his arbitration years? I think it is a little too early to make this decision. I would have liked to have given a little more game time in Arizona to Castro first.

 

He's only had 122 ABs above A ball. He's probably unlikely to match what Theriot or Fontebaker can give us. There's no need for him on the big league team right now.

 

No you don't understand, Castro is the love child of Barry Bonds and Jesus.

He's still 19 years old. It's a perfectly reasonable decision.

 

And what is he outperforms Fontenot doing ST? It wouldn't hurt to hold the decision until later.

It might.

 

I like it that he's set clear expectations for Starlin about where he's going. It allows him to relax and play baseball and learn this spring instead of worrying about making the team.

Then hopefully the Cubs wouldn't make their personell decisions based on 50 ABs in spring training.
