Best baseball player in the city of Chicago. Hopefully the other 2 things will follow.

Castro is a great hitter. Just now on 3-0 he smokes a double down the line. The few games this year that he went hitless, the next game he got 3 or more. I just don't see him as a 3 hitter without the power. As for Tulo, I have always suspected him of some PED's possibly.

I really hate when a guy like this develops for any GM and they continue to point to him as an example of how well they are doing.

While Castro was a prospect he became more than they expected, maybe not more than they hoped, but just because you have picked up 60 kids to try and play SS at the Major League level over 10+ years and finally one worked out, not sure you should be bragging about it or using it as an example of well your system is doing.

Fact is, you got Lucky!

Develop one of these #1 picks into a real ML all star and then talk!

Hendry wouldn't let this kid leave town for his life!

If I was Castro I would renegotiate NOW! didnt the Rays sign Longoria to a long term deal like the first week he was up?

Casey Mc Gehee could not be an everyday player on a good team. That is what Hendry and the boys said two years ago. Sam Fuld is looking real good in Tampa. But he cannnot play for the Cubs daily. This fuckin franchise is an absolute joke.

Sam Fuld is 29 and couldn't nail down a starting job here. Yeah, it sucks that he's doing well now, but it wasn't gonna happen here.
