Hell, if I had a vote, he'd have been #1. I don't quite understand. Javy had an awesome year, no doubt and it's nice that he got some credit for it but Wainwright and Carpenter both had better years in my opinion.

justBLAZE Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 FWIW The Cubs are one of the teams that contacted Blue Jays about Doc Halladay but it appears they would have to move Bradley first. Â Story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading quite a bit about him of late. Seems to be the total package tools wise with unlimited upside. One of the guys at BA (I can't remember who) said that he believes Castro is a top 25 prospect in all of baseball.

Milkman delivers Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I just took a new sporcle quiz, and did anyone else know that Jose Valentin has the fifth most homers as a shortstop in the history of baseball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they're so inclinded i might just ask for Marmol too. I don't think the Cubs have the pieces or the motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I personally haven't even heard of this guy other than a couple of weeks ago even he was getting hype. IMO, he's just another overhyped Cubs prospect who will probably be kept by Hendry 3 years too long. I've read about him enough however.

Â Yeah, it's been the last few weeks or so that all the hype has really escalated. I'm a subscriber at BA and his name is always coming up during the weekly chats. I'm not sure if he's overhyped or not. But from what I've read, he seems to have legitimate skills and a ton of upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Castro had a pretty good first few seasons at rookie ball and A ball, with a short spell in AA. He is getting all of the hype right now because he started off the AFL on an absolute tear(In his first six AFL games (five starts), Castro hit .522 (12-for-23)), so now everybody knows who he is.

SoxAce Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks like Doc Holliday won't sign an extension with the Jays after this season. Jays will still get a nice haul, but probably won't be as "sexy" as say the one reported Boston offer was. Gotta trade him now or by the deadline it seems.

I know there's other teams in the running...but I can't fathom how the Dodgers can afford to not wind up with him. They've got the money to afford him, the talent to give up, and they desperately need a dominant RHP to lead off their rotation. The only 3 guys I wouldn't give up if I were them would be Kemp, Kershaw, and Ethier, and beyond that they're still quite stocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange that he had the best year of his career at 35. Â He's had similar years to the one he just had in his career. 1999, 2000, 2004, and 2006. Â He also had a .915 OPS and 17 homers at home this season. Â It seems that Damon is just a good hitter, and the new Yankee Stadium helped that matter even more.
