I want to give him every chance to be a star in Cubbie blue. I do not want to spend a decade talking about what a stupid move it was to deal him. To me that's worse than having him come up and not live up to the hype, then only getting what he's worth out of him in a deal.
Please do NOT deal Castro...maybe...<i>maybe</i>...if we were one deal away from a WS but we aren't.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Just playing devil's advocate here... but what if Castro turns into what Pie has become? The Cubs just didn't give Pie enough of a chance, sold low on him, and now it looks like Pie could be at least an adequate everyday player if not more. I'm not saying it will happen, but if it does are you ok with it?
In Pie's instance, I'm just annoyed that the Cubs didn't give him more of a chance than they did. I don't regret that they didn't trade him sooner for more value though.
