Another power prospect?
Risking further scorn and derisiion from the unwashed, I wanted to point out another rare display of power in the farm system.
Carlos Castro, a 22-year-old first baseman at Rome, hit a pair of homers Friday to give him six in his first 20 games this season. The 6-1, 195 Dominican is actually listed on the roster as a catcher, but he was moved up from Danville when Juan Yepez went on the DL and has supplied power in a Rome lilneup where little existed before. Austin Riley, they more heralded power prospect on the team, has only 3 homers in 61 games.
Castro is still hitting sub-.200, but power is where you find it. Just reporting the facts. Don't hate me.
