yeah, i was going to post about this. if memory serves, players who are in the midst of a ridiculous hitting extravaganza tend to walk very little. Castro will never be the second coming of Barry Bonds at the plate, but i wouldn't be extremely concerned about his IsoD right now. yeah, but even when he's not in the middle of a hitting extraveganza, he's not patient. He also never K's either, making his high AVG more sustainable. Also, like was said, if he starts hitting more XBH like he has to start the year, I think you'll see the walks climb a bit as pitchers are forced to be more careful with him. Either way, Castro's never going to be a HanRam type offensive monster, but he's a strong defender, and if he's putting up MLE's of something like .300/.330/.450 at age 20, he's going to be plenty valuable while he's under the team's control. dude, i'll trust you because i respect your opinion, but if he ends up sucking, you will never be forgiven.
