Starlin Castro. 2. team. 82. . .

The twenty-eight year old second baseman is in his first season playing for the Miami Marlins, and is most likely someone to be traded before the trade deadline this year. This series before the ASG should be a good one as he looks to increase his trade value.

Castro is having himself an outstanding season, as he is currently batting .296 with seven home runs. His batting average leads the entire team coming into the series opener.

He has played forty three games against Philadelphia in his career. He has a .355 batting average against the Phillies with five home runs and twenty five runs batted in. His .355 average is the best among all the other teams he has faced in his career.
