Starlin Castro:
Current: Castro’s bat speed and hand-eye coordination have produced very
impressive results for a player who has yet to turn 23, walks about twice a
month and is only an average runner …. He’s also improved himself to the
point where he’s playable at shortstop and might be forced off the position
by another player, rather than forcing himself off of it through poor play.
Future: If Castro barely improves from here, he’s still a valuable big
leaguer because he can handle short and is likely to hit at least .300 with
plenty of doubles power. I think he’ll grow into 20-homer power in time, and
while his walk rates are pretty low, he’s not hopeless at the plate, giving
me some reason to think he could add 15-20 walks a year in time.
Anthony Rizzo:
Current: …. The changes [to Rizzo's swing] largely worked: Rizzo cut his
strikeout rate dramatically versus his 2011 tenure with the Padres, even
making more contact against southpaws.
He’s a terrific defensive first baseman and has earned high marks for his
makeup from all three of the organizations that have employed him.
Future: A full season for Rizzo in 2013 should see him hit close to 25 homers
with an average in the high .200s along with that great defense at first. He’
s only moderately patient, although that might improve as he becomes more of
a power threat. The biggest question is whether he can avoid becoming a
platoon player: He raked against lefties in Triple-A last year but had just a
.599 OPS against them in the majors, albeit with a .221 BABIP. Given his age
and the speed with which he has made adjustments, I like his odds of figuring
out southpaws.
