Valentine vs Castro

[Gingerballs Lives]

Hollandsworth is probably jacking off while formulating his "Castro never misses that play if Ramirez had gone to the All-Star game" argument.

 

lol, excellent.

Let's put [expletive] in perspective. Castro leads the league in hits. And he's 21. Lay off. I can't believe the meathead comments on Bruce's blog.

He's also made the most outs, which kind of disappoints me. Very Juan Pierre-y, though he'll hopefully/probably pass him as a player.

He already has.

The only thing really "Pierre-y" about him is his walk rate, which I really blame organizational philosophy on more than him, specifically.

 

The only glaring issues with Castro at this point are his walk rate and his throwing accuracy (although his range stat value fluctuated wildly this year from last...). I think both of those can be fixed with the proper coaching.

True.

The seeds are a moot point, but Valentine has it spot on. Castro looked disinterested and had his glove off half the time until just before the pitch. He wasn't set and sometimes wasn't even looking at the batter. He has a lot to learn at 21, and Quade should be giving him an ear full, all-star or not!

 

Apparently he didn't learn his lesson. Geo had to call timeout before a pitch during Wednesday's game in the 3rd inning, as Castro was out of position(by about 40 feet) over talking to ARAM. He ran back to a normal position. Not surprised the enablers were quiet about it. Even ARAM was mute.

 

When our new GM, new mgr. and new coaching staff takes over, I'm sure this will change.

Hopefully we get rid of all our good players.

I hope they beat it out of him.

And Geo had to call time for Barney when he was out in center field in the same game. What's the problem here, are we indignant that we're burdening Geo with surveying the infield?

Barney was being inscrutable, so it was cool.
