...we're not privy to the concerns of Charlie Manuel and the team's management. Manuel sounded reticent about Castillo from the start, and the scouting reports on Castillo's defense remain poor. However, simply by virtue of his ability to get on base at a solid clip, he's a better offensive option than Valdez. Or maybe Castillo really is the jerky malcontent that so many people alleged him to be, a point I refuse to concede but which may have some merit.

It's Wilson Valdez's World now.

Maybe this means Utley is closer to playing than we've been led to believe.

A guy can dream.
