So the Cubs brought up highly touted minor league prospect Starlin Castro last week in order to hopefully spark some life into the quickly drowning team, but it seems the jury's still out on the league's youngest player. In his first game last Friday he went 2-5 at the plate with a HR and a 3B, and set an MLB record for 6 RBI's in his debut. Since then however, his play has been less than stellar, and this has the perpetually dense Cubs fans doubting the front office for bringing him up too soon. Personally I think he's playing exactly how he should, like a very talented 20 year old. That being said, its not the Cubs front office I don't trust but Starlin Castro himself, after all his name is just one additional letter from being quite possibly the most blatantly communist name of all time. Is he a spy? I don't know but we should probably waterboard him anyway and try and pawn it off as a "welcome to the big leagues" rookie initiaion. Better to be safe than sorry, right Joe McCarthy?
