Top 10 SS in MLB?
MLB Network did a top 10 SS list tonight. Castro was NOT on the list. While guys like Aybar and Hardy make the list.
Where would you rate him? |

Depending on how you feel about WAR, they weren't exactly wrong...Castro is just outside the top 10 here:
Major League Leaderboards I don't have B-Ref Play Index so if someone has it they can post the rankings for SS from there. Castro is hurt by his subpar defense (which should improve) and his low walk rate (which will hopefully also improve) or else he'd be top ten material.

Aybar is a much better defender but it is a toss up overall. Castro is really young though in a few years as he matures and learns the game especially defensively he should become a top 5 SS.

1. Tulo
2. Reyes 3. Castro Suck My Dick BTW, the MLB.com Player Preview came out yesterday and had Castro 4th behind Tulo, HanRam and Reyes, but Hanley is only there because it was aimed at fantasy leagues and he is still selectable as an SS.

What were the lists criteria for the rankings? Based on career? 2011 only? Future? Etc?
