BALLER MOVE: Target ~235
CURRENT ADP: 252
ANALYSIS: Starlin Castro has finally moved out of Wrigley Field and into the friendly hitting confines of Yankee Stadium. It almost felt as if Castro just needed a venue change without all the pressure and hype that has surrounded him throughout his career in Chicago.
Castro struggled in every major category last year except for strikeout rate, which he dropped from 17.6% to 15.8%. He was simply not drawing walks (3.6 BB%), and his .294 OBP reflected that. However, he has always possessed the ability to be a solid everyday player in any lineup. His 2011 season with the Cubs proved that he can do it. Even though it was four years ago, Castro had a .307 BA, 22 SB, 91 R, .344 BABIP and his lowest K% of 13.4%. Sometimes all a guy needs is going to the greener grass on the other side.
