Starling Castro was called up for the Chicago Cubs on May 7th. He is twenty years old and was called straight up from the Double A Tennessee. Starling's first at-bat was a 2-2, hit a home run off of a Red's pitcher. Castro is the sixth player in Cubs history to hit a home run in his first at-bat. Starling's next hit was a bases loaded triple and had a total of six RBI's in his major league debut. Starling is starting shortstop for the Cubs and he is struggling in the field. Starling has eight errors in his seven games with the Cubs so far. I see Starling having a great season this year with his bat but struggling with his fielding. If the Cubs don't sign him to a major deal he will probably be the first player to be traded from the Cubs this year.
