Starlin Castro Strong In Spring Return
4 years agoWashington Nationals second baseman Starlin Castro, whose 2020 season ended in August with a broken wrist, is hitting .348/.400/.609 in spring training. Castro is already penciled in as the team's starter at the keystone and performed decently well in just 63 PA last season, hitting .267/.302/.450. His .299 xwOBA was not great but that figure was .311 in both 2018 and 2019. Castro should be on rosters in deep leagues thanks to his guaranteed job and solid batting average potential; he's only hit below .265 once in his career and that was back in 2013. At more standard depths, however, there are several better 2B options.
