If you had a choice which of these pitchers would you rather have?

Cecil Williams

or

Toney Castro

williams.. great stuff, only 25, better control over castro.. his only liability is his endurance..

I was originally going to say Williams but at the very last second I changed my mind and said Castro. It's a win-win either way though.

In six games with Sarasota, I'm now hitting .211 with a double, a homer, three RBI, three runs, three walks and five strikeouts in 19 at bats. Maybe its this half of the batting order thats doing it to me because it sure isn't helping Jeremy West ahead of me (.185,1 RBI in 27 at bats) or Mickey Hall (.227, 2 RBI in 22 at bats).
Hopefully things will turn around for me soon.

Uhhh.. okay..

Williams, seems like a Pedro-esque guy, plus he can always become a closer later in his career if you so choose.

Well i'd go with Cecil myself. I have a weakness for yuonger pitchers, and especially for Nolan Ryan clones. Control freaks dont usually last on my teams too often.

PLus he's 25 and he's already put some good seasons in. Great guy to lock up for years and to build your staff around :d

alinkens · 08-29-2004, 05:59 PM

I ended up going wth Cecil. Thank you for your input

You can't go wrong with a guy that has the first name Cecil.

Since you took Cecil, may I have Castro please?

alinkens · 08-30-2004, 06:14 AM

It was a tough choice.. The trading deadline was up and I had a GREAT pitcher (Christopher Brown) who refused to renegotiate with me so I dumped him before he could leave for free agency.
