This is the big thing for me. While his bat would obviously be welcomed in the lineup (handedness be damned), we all know that improving the defense is important too, and Castellanos is not going to help out in that regard one bit.
I think they'll go cheaper as well, I just thought he would've been be a good backup C for the Sox, and someone who wouldn't crush you if he had to start for an extended period of time. Oh well, on to the next one.
Well looking at OAA and DRS, Soler had a -6 OAA and was -12 in DRS this season in 752 innings. Eloy had a 2 OAA and 0 DRS in 304 innings. Eloy showed improvement post injury, while Soler has never been a good OFer at any point.
Yeah I was scrolling through the list (not thinking anything of it) and then I saw the Sox mentioned and it caught me off guard. What a pleasant surprise.
