Castro has been excellent framing pitches, http://www.baseballprospectus.com/sortable/index.php?cid=1819124
I've said before, that i believe CAstro is having a very good defensive year, well, except that last game, i even compared some numbers to Molina, but, Conger is not bad either, he is good, and he is hitting a lot more than CAstro, thats why i want him to catch at lead 7 of 10 games, and not 5
I really like Marwin in the lineup. I'm a fan of Valbuena, but I think Gonzalez has more upside all around. And I love Tucker's bat, but he's starting to make me nervous in left field. Hope we're solid tonight.
YES, different situations. If you are hitting with men on base, specially in scoring position, swing to drive runs. But, starting an inning, actually, starting a game, swing at first pitch?????? I dont agree with that.
well, it was a curve ball. And lately he is starting to swing at that first pitch. And, lately he is also walking more.
Within the same page, people complaining about swinging at the first pitch, people complaining about not swinging at the first pitch. And the Royals have swung (and put in play) 3 of the 4 pitches thus far.
