Thoughts on the Castro signing?

He has some pop in his bat with 10+ HR's in 4 straight years. Has hit in the low .200's for those years too :(
And although likely something we won't have to worry about for some time now, but he's 1 for 16 in his Postseason career w/ 8 K's.

They signed him for his defense and pitch framing abilities, not his bat. I do wish Murphy was given a bit more of an opportunity, but with the way he struggled last year it's definitely understanding

IMO they should have a strict platoon with Castro and Murphy. Get the most out of Castro's offense against RHP, and see if Murphy can rebound after a rough 2016. Have Mitch Garver continue to develop in AAA, and if Murphy continues to struggle then bring up Garver. I'm not too sold on Garver being our Catcher of the futuer, but he's the closest we have right now.

This thread gets buried so easily I forget about it now. Here's some recent mail (sorry for the lack of scans)

Nice tree!

I see you recently picked up a Johan 1/1 @ bargain price on another site. Any chance you'd be willing to move it?
Thanks! The tree was a 5th grade art project that I helped with. The kid was so proud of it. And I got the johan with you in mind

Does the kid share your passion for the hobby? Mine is 5 and she doesn't seem to share my enthusiam...at least not yet! Thanks for thinking of me with the Johan. What are you looking for in return on it?

He doesn't have the passion for the hobby, but he has become a Twins fan in the last couple of years. It's my fiances cousin, and we took him to a couple of games this past summer
