April 21, 200818 yr If a guy would take the bull by the horns in CF, it'd be their's. I wish they'd give Hopper more of a shot at it...
April 21, 200818 yr Freel is horrendous and people need to quit considering him a starting option. He's a good backup due to he can play anywhere and pinch run. However, offensively he's a liability. He can't get on base and when he does he usually runs himself into an out. He needs to quit playing with the wreckless abandon that got him noticed and start playing smarter baseball.
April 21, 200818 yr If Jay Bruce isn't going to be called up. Norris Hopper needs to be seeing more PT.
April 21, 200818 yr Today RHP Matt Belisle (sore right forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list, the contract of IF/OF Jerry Hairston Jr. was selected from Class AAA Louisville and IF Juan Castro was designated for assignment. Good move.
April 21, 200818 yr I agree 100%. Nothing worse than seeing Castro come up to pinch hit.If Castro is being used as a pinch-hitter, that's either bad managing or poor roster construction.
April 21, 200818 yr I wish they'd give Hopper more of a shot at it...I'm with you on that one. I'm guessing he isn't veteran enough to become one of Dusty's favorites ...
April 21, 200818 yr If Castro is being used as a pinch-hitter, that's either bad managing or poor roster construction. Definitely poor roster construction.
April 21, 200818 yr Author Castro can interpret for Cueto and Volquez. I heard that was part of the reason he was up here.

April 21, 200818 yr Castro can interpret for Cueto and Volquez. I heard that was part of the reason he was up here. Well maybe they can hire him for that. Very good with the glove, but Castro should never be a late inning pinch hitter.
April 21, 200818 yr Author E-5? Castro Well maybe they can hire him for that. Very good with the glove, but Castro should never be a late inning pinch hitter. I agree. I don't know how much truth there is to it but thats what i heard. I would think E-5 could speak both but I don't know for sure.
