What exactly is “possibly” elite defense? Either it was or it wasn’t, there is no possibly when discussing the past.

I believe the implication is that he hasn’t had enough of a sample size to give a definite answer, but yeah its a weird way to word it.

Corey Hart took a job as hitting/development coach for Blue Jays just last week (High A advanced) Don’t think he’s an option

Maybe read the story best way to describe how writer views it here.. He (Castillo) is a natural CF just now starting to play LF and by all accounts? He’s already becoming a very good LF. Questions have all surrounded his bat, not his glove, or his arm which would play in RF even, if needed.

Questions surrounding his bat???? really!!!!
For $60 Million at $11 pe year, what a bargain.
Another example of paying for suspect stats in another country against sub standard competition which over and over again doesn’t translate to the US Major Leagues.
Surprised that the Red Sox fell for his “showcase” hype.

Is A-rod just not physically able to play the field anymore or something? I know last year he didn’t, but I never heard a reason other than he doesn’t play the field anymore.

I’m sure he is able, but I know he’s had problems with off and on nagging injuries over the last few years and I think his fielding has gotten pretty bad. I doubt he has much range and speed anymore at his height and age to where it’s best off to just let him DH and get the most of what you can out of his bat while he can still hit, especially considering the contract

I read somewhere that the Yankees don’t want him to slow down at the end of the year so they want to rest him as much as possible. Playing the field would be contrary to that.
