these are the times i trust luhnow. he thinks 2 weeks of a different, unproven 1B maybe 50% of the time (Marwin will play there plenty) isn't worth giving up an asset that could net you lottery ticket minor leaguers. This is why Luhnow will keep our minors stocked...he doesn't give up assets.
Honestly if his bat isn't helping then he needs to be on the bench. Castro is better at literally everything else.
Half the time, they don't even show the replay. Stros seem to have gotten jobbed more than a few times this year. Coming into tonight, his relief numbers were 2.04 ERA 17 Ks 3 BBs with 4 consecutive scoreless appearances.
