Bob Sacamano Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Castro didn't really have a good year last year but I can see a Castro for Viciedo swap easily. Maybe other pieces added in from the Astros or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Jason Castro .222/.286/.366 151 strikeouts in 512 PA Tyler Flowers .241/.297/.396 159 strikeouts in 442 PA If it's an upgrade, it's pretty slight. OTOH if it would take Sale or Abreu to get Castro, what could the Sox get for Flowers? Edited November 5, 2014 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Castro was actually outhit by Flowers last year. They even had a similar number of Ks. Why in the world would the Sox want this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass on both. If you don't like Viciedo or Flowers at the plate, you won't like Castro or Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Abreu, Sale and Q who on the Sox is desirable? Out of the everyday players, maybe Lexi. Sox fans like Lexi, A. Garcia and Eaton, but are they really guys teams want? They can definitely do without those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that nothing more than something like Hawkins and Beck would net Jason Castro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox have a ton of desirable assets, just as every team in the majors does. Suggesting otherwise is nothing short of absurd and ridiculous.

Bob Sacamano Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 If I had to make a bet, I'd bet on Castro having a better season than Flowers next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I think Conger was brought in to give Castro some competition after Castro's numbers took a big hit in 2014. I don't think the Astros deal Castro and if they do I hope its not the Sox. As others have said, if Castro is an upgrade its a very slight upgrade and that's before taking into account how Flowers knows the Sox pitching or the fact that Flowers hitting progressed in 2014 while Castro regressed. Astro fans can keep their precious Castro, the Sox do not need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
