Punch and Judy Garland Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Utley has 30 hoemr pop, so it's not that crazy. But Castillo is terrific. He isn't running though now so it's a question of when he gets his legs/hip back. Just for the record, I was against the Lee-Pods trade wanting to deal Konerko for Castillo to leadoff for us.

Maybe I'm sleeping on Chase, but still though.... Luis Castillo: Kicking ass since 1999 Chase Utley: Kicking ass since April of 2005 I choose Utley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackie hayes Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 As great as Roberts has been, I still wonder how long this can hold up. As for Castillo, he's having a career yr so far. Much better power (if ever in this era there's been a guy more dedicated to the art of the single...), more hits, and he just doesn't strike out. Which says to me, he's going to revert to form a bit (not completely, perhaps -- he should be in the prime of his career, after all). For a season, I guess I'd take Kent. Although, I've been a Vidro fan too. But I think Utley's the choice long term. It's hard to turn your back on power like that -- especially at a position where you don't find much. And a lhb, who gets on base... It's not a strange choice at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
