Question on Castro hitting philosophy

[mountsalami]

I'm not one to sprinkle powdered sugar on a turd.
I already stated that he's a slightly above average player on a bad team.
I guess you forgot to read that part because it was more interesting for you to call me out for being off topic.

Funny you should mention reading comprehension since you want to breeze right past what was said leading up to the out of context quote you used.

You have offered no tangible evidence to contradict what I and Rubio have raised in this thread, and yet you continue to attack myself repeatedly when called out on that.

Who said I wanted to provide evidence to contradict what you and Rubio have "raised" ?
Interesting.

What is the point in discussing this if you offer nothing to back up your opinion?

 

[mountsalami]

Would you like me to copy and paste statistics to formulate every opinion I may have, even when it's not necessary.

I would like more than anecdotal evidence to support your preconceived narrrative.

 

[mountsalami]

Then I would like more than statistical jargon to support yours.

How about consistency?

Is he a turd or he is a slightly above average player?

The turd thing is just a figure of speech. Doesn't have anything to do with Castro personally at this time.
I look at situations for what they are and try not to make more out of it than what it is.
Which seems to be what you are trying to do.
I'm fine with that.

So he is an above average player at age 22 coming off his worst offensive season?

So you are in the camp that as long as you provide statistics that you then are blesssed with making an "educated opinion" there after.
Looks like you could use some work on the "educated opinion".
From the little I've read from you.....You like to dream and 'talk' in circles.

Let me try this again.
He's a slightly above average player on a bad team.
That pretty much sums it up for me.
How far does this need to be broken down Einstein ?

And you are the one deflecting from a rather simple question. I have had the same opinion through out this thread. I believe that Castro is an above average player right now factoring his position, and I think he has shown the abilities that would make him a special players. I have used empirical evidence to support that position. What have you done in this thread besides ignore or redirect whenever challenged on your opinion?

Okay we have a starting point here which again you feel the need to insult which how you started this thread. We agree that Castro is at least a slightly above average player.

 

[mountsalami]

I'll give you a little more if it helps.
If I was Epstein I would not hesitate answering the telephone in regards to a trade for Castro either.

And if you had bothered to read my posts you would know that I would not hesitate to trade Castro either for the right deal.

We can go "slower" if you'd like.
Good Grief.

It is funny that this is all you have actually contributed to this thread.

This statement in itself in an opinion fueled by an agenda.

Of course it is opinion. The difference is that I have used evidence that is available to everyone to make it as opposed to your statements based on watching the Houston Astros according to your own statements.
