Castro SS

LaHair RF
Clevenger C
Barney 2B
Valbuena 3B
Volstad P
– Carrie Muskat

good to see clevenger in there again. that stat showing the pitching staff’s ERA w/ clevenger behind the plate vs. soto behind the plate has been obvious for a while now, though thanks to carrie for doing the research to put it out there. i think there’s a whole lot to like about steve clevenger, and as good as wellington castillo looked while he was up here, one’s got to think that that the F.O. is searching for a way to move soto.
