It doesn't matter about anyone other than Castro.

He is in the second year of his contract under reasonable price. Takes more than a year to judge. His previous years performances is why he got the contract and the fact he is 24.

I know what got it for him. The fact remains for a month short of two years he hasn't played up to it.

Mike Olt sucks. That had to have been the most half-hearted postgame interview I had seen in my entire life yesterday.

He's been bad since like the first week of May 2012. He's got time to turn it around, but he's not been the player his check says he is.

Yeah, that's just not true. He struggled in August of 2012 but every other month he at the worst decent. Last year, yes bad. Who the fuck wasn't.

Lol no. It's been one year. I think people think ss are still hitting 30. Plus homers a season

Awful in august. From may 6 thru first week of srpt he hit like 242. Far from decent. Against triple a call ups he raises that like 16 points. Stinky since may 2012

So for three months he didn't bat .300 so he sucked. Lol he batted .320 something in September. He had two bad months and one not so great month. It's called a fucking average for a reason. Unreal how people are.

It's like trying to explain Geometry to an infant man.

The sample size is a season. His season wasn't horrible. Last year was horrible. No disagreement there

Who gives a fuck about a post-game press conference? He's struggled a bit to start the year but perhaps we should give it more than 9 games? Nah.

or realize that Mike Olt isn't that good?

So September doesn't count? Also batting .260 something is horrible for a ss in this league

Last three weeks against triple a pitching. His first week and last series bad.

Yes his contract demands more. Since May 6 2012 bad.

Do you even know what Castro makes right now and last year?
