Anyone, aka, Fred, know Castros stats since being moved to the 3 hole? Just out of curiosity

.382 OPS

If you're serious, that's much worse than I thought.

yes, I'm serious. 5-33 with one walk and one double

Not that it really matters but... Game time is 1:20, right? Not 1:10.

I know alot were pining for him to hit 3rd, but maybe he's trying a little too hard hitting at that spot. I'm going to assume his K rate has raised quite a bit, especially, seeing as how he never didn't put a ball in play for like a month if he swung*

Garza really has been a bad ass so far this year.

Up until a couple of days ago the CUBS were seeing an average of 12.0 pitches per inning. So far today, they're looking at 19.5 P/I from Volquez. This is a good sign.
