Setting Cubs Fans Straight In The Mailbag
Written by wrigleyville

When did Carrie Muskat get so reasonable? Check out these answers in today's mailbag: If Starlin Castro is doing so well, why not have Ryan Theriot move to second and promote Castro next year? [Cubs general manager Jim] Hendry could trade Fontenot and keep Baker because of his versatility. This potentially solves one of the Cubs' needs with players they already have. If it doesn't work out and Castro can't handle starting every day, Theriot can move back to short and Baker to second and Castro becomes the backup. -- Sean P., Des Moines Castro, 19, is riding the bullet train through the Cubs' farm system. He was playing in the Rookie League in 2008, and this year went from high Class A Daytona to Double-A Tennessee and competed in the Southern League playoffs. Now, he's playing in the Arizona Fall League, which is a huge test as he's competing with some of the top prospects in the game. Castro did start at second base on Monday for the Mesa Solar Sox, the first time he's played there all year. I know Theriot won't like hearing this, but I'd move him to second and leave Castro at shortstop. One thing I would disagree with you on is having Castro be a backup on the big league team. He needs to play, and most likely will start the 2010 season in the Minors. And: I know you've gotten a lot of questions like this but since Mark DeRosa is a free agent, is there any chance the Cubs will bring him back? It seems that since he was traded, we have a big hole at second base and he was probably the most liked player on the Cubs in '08, and fans were pretty upset after he was traded. -- Nick S., Itasca, Ill. If they signed players because they were popular, Mark Grace would still be starting at first. Never say never, but keep in mind, DeRosa will be 35, he'll be coming off wrist surgery and a .250 season in which he posted a .319 on-base percentage and struck out 121 times. DeRosa would love the chance to work again with new Cubs hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo again. Her mailbag is much more useful than that dump at the Trib.
