Toronto has dipped into it's wealth of young talent and added a franchise middle infielder. Went back and forth with Kris on this one but in the end, the fact alone that he was willing to trade Starling warranted some respect so I budge a little more then I wanted to. Adding Castro to my already formidable core of Lawrie,Heyward and Machado allows me to feel good about my chances to compete in the AL East.
