I have mentioned before, my Dad is friends with a big league scout. I talked to him a few weeks back, he never has inside info or anything but I asked him about Castro and specifically his defense and errors. He said at least half were throwing errors, said he could really get to the ball. In his opinion with a gold glove 1B like Lee and better infields he could easily reduce it to 20-25 a year right away, which is perfectly acceptable for a rangey SS with a big arm. Similar to a Furcal.
Not saying that is a sure thing but it is an expert opinion.
He also said he heard Lou wanted Castro up in April and was upset he didn't get him. Not sure how reliable that info is, but thats what he had heard.
