| They lost 101 last year and they're probably better this year. | |

| Castro isn't the worst thing in the world.
And I really dunno. Future is at least interesting, though.

I still don't think he's going to be an elite shortstop. I just don't think he'll overcome his defensive shortcomings. He's got a 5.2% walk rate in 2,000 plate appearances.

| He's like 23. He was as good as Andrus through their respective first two year. Power increase could make him a lot of fun to watch. Castro just probably isn't the problem haha.
