I was wondering about that. Does anyone know in what way Castro is better than Lee?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Castro makes better contact than Lee does, although Lee is no scrub getting the bat on the ball. I believe Castro's defense all around is also better but only by a hair. Lee is gonna have to make some noise at higher levels before he gets into the best shortstop in the minors category.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Castro is more advanced and plays better defense, no doubt. Lee is thought to be a better athlete, though, and is the fastest kid in the system. He is also expected to hit for a higher average than Castro.
No, I wouldn't put Lee ahead of Castro - just to be clear - but it's certainly a fair discussion, no?
