wow, imagine that
a 3-2 WALK
we'd have so many more of those if more of our hitters realized the league was doing that to us as often as they have been
terrible at bat brian, some of our hitters are absolutely braindead after 2 strikes
so many pitchers fail to throw balls into the strikezone to our team on 2 strikes, we would have so many f***ing walks this year if they would just smarten up and adjust to what the league is doing to us on 2 strikes

Castro's vs. Lefties over the past 3 years - .275 .341 .808 Better than who we had vs. right handers too OPS=.778
Seems like a nice upgrade offensively and I feel much better if AJ should happen to need an extended time off for any reason. I don't know much at all about his defense and handling of pitchers. How is this guy behind the plate?
career .990 FPCT behind the plate
as has been said, contreras' contract makes his trade value = 0
it's a sad story, he was a huge part of 2005 and right now is at the tail end of his career, and pitching in the minor leagues has to kill his confidence
