STARLIN CASTRO RUMORS
Sveum Wrong On Castro, Rizzo
The Cubbies are struggling. In addition to being 5-12 through their first 17 games (last in the NL Central by an increasingly daunting five games), they are also 13th in the NL in runs, 14th in batting average, 14th in errors, and 14th in fielding percentage. In short, nothing has gone right for Dale Sveum’ club after a promising spring training. It’s understandable that...
**** You Dale Sveum
It's been a few years since I busted out one of these but the ******** that was Dale Sveum's comments today about Castro & Rizzo has enraged me to the point of typing about it so here we go.
**** you Dale Sveum. **** you and your ********* pontifications about "accountability" and performance. If you really think that Starlin Castro & Anthony Rizzo belong...
Starlin Castro to bat 2nd
You know that news is rather light when you're writing about what you figured would happen all along: Starlin Castro will bat 2nd.
If everybody lives up to their capabilities, hopefully we don't have to do anything [different]," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Sunday of his projected lineup in which David DeJesus will lead off and be followed by Castro, Anthony Rizzo,...
Player Profile #31: Starlin Castro | SS | CHC
Last year, Starlin Castro split time evenly between batting second, third, and fifth—not what you’d expect from a speedy shortstop with fairly average power for a middle infielder. Ideally, you would expect him to stick in the number two hole because he lacks the on-base skills to be a leadoff hitter. Well, because of his [...]
Chicago Cubs spring training studs and duds
While it is nice to win spring training games, the Chicago Cubs are much more worried about evaluating players’ performances than wins and losses this spring. For this reason, the absence of Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo for most of the spring can be seen as a positive for the club, as they have been able to get better looks at some of the younger players. Some of these...
2013 Cubs Projections: Starlin Castro
Before we get to Starlin Castro's 2013 Cubs Projections, I wanted to talk a little bit about something else in regard to Castro.
An awful lot has been written about Starlin Castro over his young career. It seems that most of this has been at the two extremes. We've heard and read countless times about how Castro is a future superstar. There have also been a lot of words spilled...
Chicago Cubs: 3 Up and 3 Down
There were few bright spots for the Chicago Cubs in 2012, a season which saw them lose 101 games. If there was any consolation for Cubs fans it would be that they weren’t expecting to contend in the first year of the Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer era; however, there is a huge difference between not contending and losing over 100 games. With an unofficial team slogan of “Wait...
Chicago Cubs Mid-season update
Well the All Star Break is upon us and two Cubs, Bryan LaHair and Starlin Castro are headed to Kansas City. It’s time for the up to date report card from a 70+ year old lifelong fan.
Their record is currently 33-52 which has them on pace to lose 99 games. That is an improvement from the 50 game report card where they were on pace to lose 104. In May they suffered through...
EYE ON THE PRIZE
Starlin Castro makes crazy barehanded catch
Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro made an unbelievable play during Tuesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox as he managed to grab the ball with his bare hand after his attempt at an over-the-shoulder catch popped out of his glove. It happened in the bottom of the fifth inning on a blooper hit White Sox outfielder Alejandro De Aza. Video via Yahoo! Sports....
Trading Starlin Castro for these reasons would be stupid!
On the sidebar we have a Yardbarker widget and one of the articles I noticed this morning was this one: 3 Reasons the Chicago Cubs Should Trade Starlin Castro. Starlin Castro is currently the shortstop for the Cubs. This position is the de facto captain of the infield, and it needs to be manned by someone that [...]
