I mean sure, you can make some comparisons to Roman. Both walked a ton in A-Ball & hit ok then did better in A+, both were much better against righties than lefties, both are Outfielders who played CF as well as corner outfield.I thought that SP take on Castro was similar to Anthony, in that the underlying numbers in low-offense Salem heralded the move to Greenville, and he was as good or better in Greenville.
The defense seems lesser than Anthony’s, but if he can play center now, I don’t know that he’s immediately LF only. RF at Fenway is big, but I dont feel players out there have not always had to be elite CF types to be successful, like a Trot Nixon.
But his hit tool, speed tool, range tool, arm tool, awareness & especially his power tool all seem lesser than Roman, & he's older than Roman. Which is why Roman moved up significantly before Castro.
Trot did play 70 games in CF in '01 for the Red Sox. He also split his time between CF & RF when moving through the org.
In Trot's MiLB career...
278 games in RF
203 games in CF
57 games in LF (38 of which were in 2008 at 34)
They are already steering Castro toward LF & even DH when he's not in CF.
