his OPS has gone up 40 points since July 1. It's still not great overall, but hopefully this means the break-down-to-build-up process is starting to work.
.851 OPS in that time, but only 3 walks in 71 PAs.

I don't even care about Castro walking anymore. I think he got overly hung up on being patient and it messed with his approach. Given what a disaster this year has been, I think we have to be happy if he simply gets back to what he was in 2011-12, even if that means he never walks more than 40 times a year. Anything else is just a bonus.

Ayup. I'd rather not let the perfect be the enemy of the good on him at this point.

I'd love to see a team so good that it can bat a Castro in the 6th or 7th spot.

Any Castro?

I would draw the line at Fidel.  But maybe his brother...

I'm figuring Ariel Castro swings a mean stick.

What?

Maybe it's time Sveum sits Castro down and makes him watch stuff like this.

Nah, just figured we'd never need it again.*

He makes errors. So does Baez. You can have Barney play there instead he won't make as many errors.
