Starlin Castro, done for the year.

Sucks, but pretty nice bounce back year.

Also, we started this in the SBox a bit ago, but total hits through age-24 season for some of the all-time hits leaders in MLB. 

Ty Cobb: 1207
Robin Yount: 1050
Ken Griffey Jr.: 972
Alex Rodriguez: 966
Hank Aaron: 914
Starlin Castro: 846
Rogers Hornsby: 838
Cal Ripken: 750
George Brett: 720
Eddie Murray: 712
Derek Jeter: 588
Stan Musial: 584
Tony Gwynn: 559
Willie Mays: 537
Paul Molitor: 534
Pete Rose: 518
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

It seems like every day there is somebody on the Score talking about trading Castro. They want them to trade a SS with his offensive profile because they might have too many shortstops? Name one other. Baez has to prove he can competently play defense and oh, by the way, learn to hit major league pitching. Addison Russell is still a year away and nobody knows if he can even play yet. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Cut him in half and the wrong keeps on wiggling.

It's down to Russell, Baez, McKinney, Edwards and Johnson.

Still interested?

I don't think anybody's going to roll the dice until they know they don't have another Ellis Valentine on their hands.

I don't think the asking price is going to budge until we know that either.

I'd probably do it, though I'd try to talk them into Almora instead of McKinney.
