No sweat Wade. I just look up info on players and wanted to give my opinion. I read up on interviews thanks to Dustin at cardinal birdhouse and the story was there. That’s how I find out.

He just left the ball up in the zone. Plain and simple. What exactly was his injury again?

geez … i’m sorry. I swear that I heard that Nick was his brother … the reason for the signing bonus comment. If Nick is in fact not his brother, i’m sorry for any misconceptions. I meant it as a sarcastic response to Alex hitting well, especially of late. If anyone took that the wrong way, I really have no clue how they could take his actual brother’s accident and my “signing bonus” comment as the same person.

thanks az … had no clue about his other brother. my reference was simply to Nick … hence the signing bonus comment. i really have no clue how it could be taken any other way.

I don’t think anyone is making light of a tragic situation intentionally. They’re all referencing Nick Castellanos who signed this past draft. Not to mention that I’m not sure where you’d find information publicized like this. It was an innocuous comment.

I know everyone is entitled to opinions but it’s bezarre when one writes good things of castellanos because he’s getting better and better each day. Whic I also agree with the other guys above. For someone to make comments that it’s because his brother got drafted. When the players only brother was killed in a boating accident. Is uncalled for. You need to cHeck you’re facts before you put notes like those. I checked Alex stats since he’s been drafted. he’s one to watch. He bats with power, excellent speed and strong arm strength. Toolsy player all around. Plus he just turn 24 this month.
There are a lot of good players that have great potential. Chambers, jackson, carpenter. Ingram, Scruggs. Pham too but has to control a little his anger management issues. He blows up quickly

You are missing the best prospect of all them and that is Jaun Castillo. He is younger, moved faster, and put up similar numbers to Perez. And most importantly, is superior defensively. This despite missing a year due to drug testing and then being demoted as punishment to the DSL (after performing well in the GCL). I expect him to be one of the primary catchers at QC next year along with Perez. Stanley is probably going to have to try to make the jump to PB.

Alex had a brother until he was run over by a boat. The topic of the brother is not funny.
