Interesting take on Castro call-up

posted by IowaCubs-, May 07, 2010

The author here feels that the Castro call-up isn't much of an improvement over Theriot and Baker/Fontenot unless he exceeds expectations. This is purely a sabermetric view: However this is portrayed by people, the Cubs did not call up Castro on a whim. Whether the thinking behind the move is misguided will be a consistent point of discussion during Castro’s tenure on the north side, and it will begin with the wins and losses this team sees as a result of their middle infield play this season. If Castro doesn’t have a .330 wOBA and +5 UZR/150 defense, then I really can’t justify what Jim Hendry is trying to do here. As I said, the benchmark has been set.

MLBTR Q&A with Troy E. Renck

posted by PioneerSkies, Apr 16, 2009

Link mlbtraderumors.com

MLBTradeRumors is one of two website that I compulsively refresh (the other, of course is Purple Row). Today, they offer a brief chat with Troy E. Renck. Since the site is dedicated to trade rumors, the main topics of the chat were Matt Holliday, Garrett Atkins, and Jeff Baker. Most of the comments blast Renck for touting Atkins.
