WOW, quite the gamble in my opinion. Maybe by the 5th or 6th year this will pay off some,. This kid has tons of growing up to do...not sure what they are thinking here...good luck with that, Cubbies.

Quote from the article in Miami Herald:

Said Castro: "That's what I'm looking for. It's the only important thing right now, to win a World Series and for it to be here."

I know it's older news, but still amazes me, I thought I would revisit the subject, just think it's a gamble, never believe "it's not about the money", thanks for posting!
