Now the argument can be made that he's having success where he is right now and its best to just leave him alone, as well as that Castillo's best spot is #2....but for the future, he has shown every thing you'd like to see from a #2 hitter. |
For the future, I see him as a solid #3 more than #2.
As for the bottom of the order, it seems to help a lot of young players. Gotay, Gomez, Milledge, Wright (#7 for him early on), and Yankees rookies like Sorryano, Cabrera, and (not sure on this one) Cano. Maybe even Reyes (not sure on that one, either).
