    They've already dropped him in the order to reduce his number of plate appearances and I'm sure he's getting some input on the side. I'm guessing a lot of the kids are going to get funneled into winter ball and fall league as well. Let him get it out of his system for the remainder of this season.

    We can only send 7 players to Fall League though.

    I'm not sure what happened to the Advanced Arizona Instructional League or Arizona Parallel League (whichever name you prefer), but I think it folded, lower levels in regular Arizona or Dominican Instructional Leagues.

    My guess is a lot of Dominican, Venezuelan, Mexican Pacific, and Roberto Clemente (Puerto Rico) league action... not sure if we have any Australians or not, but they have an affiliated league too.

    That said, they should have gotten a real replacement for the folded Hawaii Winter Baseball.

    Even if they're not in organized league play they can still work out voluntarily (or be persuaded to by management) in Arizona, just like Samardzija did last year. Either way, they're going to get instruction and stay in shape because I doubt the new front office is just going to let people slack off.

    Agree. He worked for almost a year straight his rookie season. Fall League, then a break, then Spring Training, Southern League, Rookie season in MLB, and then went to Dominican League.

    Unless you mean he shouldn't do anything, then no, he still has to stay in shape, preferable working at Dominican Academy.

    I think it best that Castro doesn't play organized ball, but just gets continued instruction. He's already played enough baseball at this point Now to hone some skillz.
