Castellanos playing for Dirks ENTIRE job.

Castellanos is always mentioned in trades, he keeps this up and he could be a trade piece that garners an All Star.

All Star like the Marlins Stanton, I'm all for it. Otherwise lets keep some young guys for once.

I am not a big Andy Dirks fan. If Nick tears it up all spring I would rather have him as the every day LF and make Dirks the 4th OF. I doubt that happens though.

Well you aren't a big Prince Fielder fan either, how about Don Kelly plays 1st, and Prince can be a pinch hitter?

Didnt we learn anything from the Mike trout situation last year? Trout was sent back to the minors because "the vet was more likely to succeed." I bet the Angels are still kicking themselves for that bonehead logic today, because if Trout was on the opening day roster, the Angels probably would have won at least a wildcard. Go with the best player, period.

That's a stretch to say the least.

They also could have finished a few more games out of it.

I like Prince's bat...I just don't like his long contract and the fact that signing him moved Miggy to 3B.

You want Inge back because face it, either Miggy would be at 3rd or Inge.

Inge back....I never said that!!

Then who did you think was going to play 3rd if not Miggy?

I know spring training is a small sample size but I would say that the talent level in spring training is much better than AA or AAA ball.

ST stats tell a helluva lot less than AA or AAA stats.

Oh no, lol.

Pencil him in at LF.

Penciled in at LF in Toledo, got it.

Nope. He's a fn stud....

Why Toledo? Because of his age? Who gives a shit?? He's going to be special....

The same was said about Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller and Jacob Turner.

I'm for giving the kid a chance to grow into something special, rather than have him in a platoon role with Dirks (because that's all it would be) and not get the AB's he needs to continue developing.

I wouldn't even mind if they started him in Erie. Move him up to Toledo in June with a call up around the all star break

I would like to see him and Asvail Garcia in Toledo since I live close by and could watch them!

Looks like kobernus is getting the platoon role, which I actually like since he could make berry and boesch expendable.

Berry and Boesch were already expendable. It isn't like the Tiger hopes rests on these two.

And while Kobernus is having a good ST until now, that does not detract from him being a marginal player at best. IMO, Kobernus is battling D. Kelly and Worth for the last roster spot. Berry won't make the roster without an injury to someone else.
