When does Javy start up in Iowa?

 

I might get ripped for this but from what I saw of Javy in Iowa & his less violent leg kick with 2 strikes I am 100% confident that he is a more valuable player than Castro going forward.

Former conflicting Rangers 3B prospects Mike Olt and Christian Villanueva have both been red hot over the past 10 games. Certainly picked a good time to do so.
