From Rotoworld:
Cubs manager Dale Sveum indicated Monday that he's considering benching Starlin Castro if the shortstop can't improve his focus.
Castro forgot how many outs there were in Monday's game on a potential double-play ball, letting the Giants score the tying run at the time. It's one of many mental mistakes that the young shortstop has made over the last year and a half. "It’s not acceptable," Sveum said. "These things got to stop happening or we’re just going to stop playing." We can't imagine that a potential benching would last more than a couple days, but Castro probably needs a wake-up call at this point. To his credit, he was apologetic to teammates after the game and called the situation "embarrassing
