I don't like losing Castro and was hoping they could shed the Ellsbury/Headley contracts instead.............but realize the Marlins aren't THAT dumb.
On the other hand, Castro was also starting to concern me also. Reminds me a bit of Carlos Baerga. A middle infielder starting to become a little pudgy, starting to become a little complacent, starting to become a little injury prone heading into his late 20's.
I'm not sure Gleyber Torres is going to be ready yet, but might as well stick him in there and find out.
I'd like to see Todd Frazier come back if they could get him cheap, if only for his defense and bench presence, but they'd likely have to move Chase Headley. I wouldn't mind them both as a platoon at 3rd and filling in at 1st if Bird gets hurt again, but that would be an expensive platoon.
