If they name Quade manager he might never play on the big team again. He'll sit in AAA "refecting" until he can become a free agent and catch on with a team that has a clue.

I said 16-20 although I think it will be on the low end of this spectrum. He's twenty, I figure he's got about 14-17 years left, which is quite the career.

Just re-post it Lefty, if it wasn't an all out personal assault, I don't know why it would be deleted without warning/reason/etc.

That's a bit much. Quade benched a rookie for a mental mistake....once. Now, I don't put too much stock into the real "basebally" kind of managing players (sending messages, teaching people a lesson, etc.), but I also wouldn't make brash generalizations about what the future holds for a team managed by a guy that has managed only a handful of games at the MLB level, especially considering this incident happened when the team was 20 games out of the division lead.
If he pulls this kind of stuff next season early on when the Cubs are "in it" (early on, everyone is technically "in it"), ok we can talk, but it was one incident that occurred when the team was way way way out of any post-season race. Don't go all Phil Rogers on us.

I heard the debate on B and B today, and basically it is about being 20 games out yada yada, but even if the cubs are in it and a manager like quade does this again....i still cant see the extreme of "He'll sit in AAA "refecting" until he can become a free agent and catch on with a team that has a clue." that is a bit extreme. now if castro is batting .220 with a .317 obp than maybe.....but i dont see him being a bust. just my thoughts.

That's an interesting notion: what happens next season if Castro comes out of the gates slow or not at all, do you let him play through it or send him down to "re-tool"? I don't know. The Cubs will probably be bad again, or at least not division-contenders, so letting him "play through it" probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Of course, if the team somehow manages to be competitive next year, not having solid production from the SS position could be a huge hole in their game, and in that case they could ill-afford to have a young guy struggling at a key position for some months. Of course then you'd have to think about who you're going to replace Castro with, and determine if "some guy" out at short is any more valuable than Castro struggling, and by how much. Very interesting.....

I can't really see Castro batting .200, at least not for an extended period of time like A-Ram's slump at the beginning of the season, he just seems to be too pure of a hitter, and power hitters go through slumps like that more often than a Castro-type player. But of course it is a possibility.
If he does end up starting the season like that, I'd let him play through it though, but maybe with a few more days off than normal.

I say 16-20, pending no severe injury.
