sick of hearing how this guy is gonna "save" the Cubs season....
get ready for an 0-4 2 strikeout debut...
guy is coming off quite a week down on the farm though....
here's a little writeup from BA...
Team: Double-A Tennessee (Southern)
Age: 20
Why He's Here: .458/.560/.583 (11-for-24), 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 RBIs, 5 R, 3 BB, 1 SO, 0-for-1 SB
The Scoop: The word going around is that Castro could get his call to the big leagues today, and if it's true, he certainly left the Southern League in style, hitting .376/.421/.569 with nine walks and 11 strikeouts in 26 games. So what should we expect from Castro if he is headed to the majors? He's not going to hit for any power and he probably isn't going to work too many deep counts. He should in time, but remember, he's still the age of most college sophomores. What should work to Castro's advantage is his outstanding hand-eye coordination, which will give him a chance to have some success off the bat because of his ability to handle all types of pitches and put the ball in play.
