Those are some pretty fun videos.  It sure would be fun to see him become good.  The bar used to be a little higher, but with Castro the worst hitting starter in baseball, the bar isn't that high.  Baez wouldn't need to be that great to match or perhaps exceed Castro's .270 OBP or .575 OPS.  So, maybe the time is right.

I wonder how Castro would fair in a utility role?  Take Hererra's place? 

More fun to check to the box scores with Baez back at Iowa, and perhaps Olt showing some hints of life. 

Contreras has been having one of the most steady hitting seasons.  44K/38BB/34XBH/99 hits are some very interesting lines.  The ranking buzz seems surprisingly quiet.  Just not enough power to buzz?  Just because he's got no scouting-popularity tenure?  But after the season it will all come out?  Or I wonder if his framing/calling/pitcher-handling just is kind of bad?
