I get why you don't like Castellanos, but you have to remember Comerica Park is also a lot harder of an OF to play in than Cleveland is as well. We Had Brantley in LF, who sincerely wasn't rated that good of an OF and we won a lot of games. I personally feel that you are fearing his defense a little to much. He has a WAR of 1.5 even with the negative defense. I think in the smaller park in Cleveland, he should actually be better. Does anyone have his home and away splits for his defense? I don't think his defense is bad enough that his bat isn't worth something, plus we have above average bench OF defensively, and Mercado, who has a ton of athletic range, I don't think he will be as scary in our ball park as you believe.
