Hard to make the move right now with Leake being a stud over the last month and castro falling off a little and hitting like .222 over the last week. Although your pitching isnt that great as it is and losing a pitcher who is doing this well might hurt it some, ive always said that its easier to fill holes on the pitching side of the ball than it is on the offensive side. Castro has a real chance to be damn special starting as soon as now if he can keep the avg above .300. Thinking long term id take Castro, i think it's going to be really hard for Leake to keep his ERA low pitching in Cinci, and id play those odds and take Castro. I totally understand how it can be a hard move to make right now but i think its the right move to make

Hope this helps

I agree with what this guy is saying. Pitching is going to be there. I'm not sure Leake is going to be so special that I wouldn't move him for a 20 year old SS that could be special. No guarantees on Castro, obviously, but the position scarcity at SS...well, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
