I don't care about $$$ investment. That's a terrible way to run an organization and would have been the only reason to play Pablo. I don't see how Rusney is a step up from Young. A 4th OF platoon guy should be easy to find on the market.
All I'm saying is that so far, he's looked poor this year. There's no reason to suggest he'd be an upgrade over Young.
Also, 72 PA's in AAA is almost 20% of a season in Pawtucket, rather than his 1 game in Boston.
Don't be a goober please.
Castillo isn't very good. I'm not sure how anyone could see upside with him. Young may not be better, but I think the Sox would have a better shot of trading for someone outside the organization.
Castillo has a strong arm and is fast. However, he fields like Wily Mo and runs the bases poorly. He's not a MLB guy right now.
@redsoxstats Young is 2-21 8 K in games he's started, 1-8 in his starts vs LHP and he's seen only 26 pitches. Red Sox have scored 4 runs in 3 LHP starts.
Sell high. He's typically injured. Get a young pitcher with top of the rotation material. Majority of Sox prospects are infielders so there is sufficient depth.
