If Castro is the player we think he is, it won't be long before he proves that he belongs in the majors. I say we keep him in Iowa until he looks like he's truly ready to go.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think that is overrated in baseball today.

Yeah, I agree. If an athlete is too mentally weak to be able to deal with a little failure, then that person was never going to make it to begin with. Bottom line is if this kid can help us and appears (not saying that is the case yet) to be wasting his time down in the minors, then he needs to be given an opportunity to prove himself. Our organization tends to be overly cautious and does a piss-poor job of evaluating its own players, so for once I'd like to see them be a little more aggressive with a positional prospect.
