Last year, Luis Castillo's hitting was nearly the same as it was in '05 Florida:
AVG/ SLG
'05 .301/.374
'06 .296/.370
Unfortunately, his offense took a pretty big dip thanks to a sharp decrease in walk rate, as his OBP dropped from .391 to .358. That still made him a pretty decent 2B, but I don't think it's unfair to characterize him as a mild disappointment.
What lies ahead for 2007? Injury? An return to high OBP? Something else?
