They need to get him away from Adolfo Soriano. I've heard/read a number of places he stays out real late.... not a good combo with all the day games. Send him to AAA for a month to straighten out his head and swing.

You've read Starlin stays out with Adolfo? Or you're assuming he does?

Adolfo and Castro have been spotted out any number of times in Viagra Triangle or the dbag places on W Lake. I have a lot of contacts in the nightlife arena, if you are wondering what i am basing these "presumptions" on

I think the sexual assault thing was a money grab. The part that calls his character into question is that the encounter happened during the pregnancy of the live in girlfriend he had knocked up.

I said a few years ago that all the experience with losing teams who didn't care would ultimately have an impact on his development. Strong clubhouse leadership would have straightened him out. That cannot come from a guy his age like Rizzo. You would have hoped Soriano would have provided it for the cost of his services.

I think he's a free swinger and is not capable of being selective. It takes away from what makes him good.

I honestly doubt its the losing

Nah, not even. It just means i know a bunch of drunks. It seemed like Bucky Chris was asking me to expound a little on what i was basing my comments on

I guess the Derek Jeter comparisons are on hold.

Yeah, you're right. Continue with the Jeter comparisons.

No doubt he has been bad lately.

But every person that has ever played the game has stretches like this. It happens. Hitting a baseball at the major league level is a damn hard thing to do. Castro is going to be fine. He will learn from times like this and will be better for it down the road.

He doesn't seem to learn shit from his fielding errors, not sure it's a given he learn from his hitting mistakes.

To be fair, player comps arent really comparisons. He was compared to Jeter because the type of player they were, not for potential. At least not that I recall.

I've seen some of the losses, but according to my calculations they are +7 when I'm viewing

Now at .228 . Team gets 16 hits today and he draws the collar and commits his 14th error. Pathetic.

He was too good for too long (2 full seasons) for me to just dismiss him. Guys have gone through this before. Gotta just hope he comes out of it.

There's nothing else to do. At least he's not dragging down a winning team :evil:

Well they arent going to bench him so yeah its pretty much run him out there and hope he figures it out. Dont know how you keep him at the top of the order though. Bat him 8th.

He needs to just start swinging again. Forget the walks and high obp. Not gonna happen with him. I mean I guess it could, but it doesnt look like it.

Him laughing it up out there after dropping that ball to 2nd on the force out in the 9th really pissed me off. Why don't you go out and tear up the clubs tonight celebrating another mental error you dumbass.

Not in the lineup tonight :shock:

About time they gave him a game off to get his shit together. I hope they also reamed his ass over laughing at making an error the other day.

With the Ian Stewart/Marmol news, I can only conclude they've worked out a Castro for Manny Machado deal.
