    Sorry I was so slow to start the thread, but I am here. The losing streak stops today! WSR: IF they win, feel free to start tomorrow's thread. Wouldn't want to jinx our potential first winning streak of the season.

    Was he hit by a batted ball several weeks ago and I missed it? Where did this bone bruise come from?

    come on, Tim. Let us be. We're trying to be pessimistic and panicky here, and you're ruining it with realism. That said, reality rarely applies when you're talking cubs. BTW, have I ever mentioned that every time I see your screen name, I picture you with horns on your head, sporting a scottish accent, and throwing fireballs every which way? Well I do.

    Excellent post. Let's hope for lightning in a bottle with Russell & Diamond and take it from there. Unless I'm missing something, there's no need for both. It should be Coleman and 1. Russel (and a releiver to replace him in the pen) OR 2. Diamond to start (leaving Russel in the pen), but not both.

    Im not a fan of beating dead horses, but Im not quite sure what this one means? Is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing, because they're really completely different players in every way from their position to their style to their path to the major leagues. Of course they are. It was just an attempt to light the mood.

    I don't know how many caveats and disclaimers I have to give. How about zero, if you'd stop arguing against a point nobody is making? I'm desperately trying to. ...what? How does that work? All you have to do is not argue the point that Castro isn't going to approach A-Rod numbers, which no one has disagreed with or is likely to, and you're done. Sorry the last two posts were so short. I was posting from my phone on the run. 1. I've given several disclaimers in this thread and others that I'm not calling anyone out, arguing with anyone or claiming that anyone HERE is being ridiculous about his power potential. 2. I have specifically cited Len and Bob on WGN as annoying the crap out of me in their ravings about Castros potential power. ESPN is also to blame for the burr under my saddle. 3. I think the kid shows flashes of greatness and will be a solid to extraordinary player for years to come. 4. He's no Geovanny Soto. 5. I have heard A-rod and Griffey comparisons based mostly on his age and frame. IN conclusion! I'm not arguing with anyone, but think that I have made a valid observation. I guess I just don't understand how your agreeing with my point invalidates it. I'm done.

    um yeah

    he will. just not A-rod power. I'm not making myself clear apparently. I like Castro, I like his upside, I'm a fan, and I think he will improve. I just don't think power will be his best weapon.

    If his season ends with 1 win, I kick a kitten. kittens are safe

    I'm not sure anyone is saying otherwise. What we are saying is that it's incredibly exciting that he could potentially supplement his great contact skills and (flashes of) patience with average to above-average power. This really stems from listening to Len and Bob talk about him developing power. I just don't see it happening. I'd gladly be wrong though. Sorry folks, just a pet-peeve of mine. I'll shut up now.

    For the record... I think Starlin is going to have a great major league career. He has a ton of talent, and maturity will really bring that into focus. I think his defense will improve from toolsy to great. I think he will hit. a lot. I just don't see a particular reason to think that power will be a standout part of his game.
