Castillo should start
If the front office and Jim Tracy were not so caught up in the intangibles (i.e. Freddy was the batting champ last year, if Laroche doesn't start Littlefield looks like the idiot he is) then the right people might be starting and we probably wouldn't be 9 games back. Having Castillo start for Freddy at 2nd saves at least one run a game due to Castillo's vastly superior fielding. And to further support this claim, Freddy can't hit shit right now anyways. He's not slapping the ball like he did last year and he definitely has the fielding range of a third baseman at best. Barely anything gets past Castillo and even if he doesn't hit, at least he saves a couple runs. It's known Jack and Jose don't get along, for example when Jack and Freddy turn a play Jack goes for the immediate ass grab but if Jose bails him out with an amazing catch and put out, Jack doesn't even acknowledge his presence. This doesn't matter, Castillo deserves second base on fielding alone.
