I've long been saying Starlin Castro should be back in the leadoff slot. In his first game of the year there, tonight against Washington he opened the game with a double and advanced and scored on a pair of groundouts. Anthony Rizzo picked up the RBI.
When your leadoff man gets into scoring position with nobody out, good things happen. Not only is Castro one of the league leaders in doubles since his callup three years ago, but he can single and steal a base to get the job done too. Let's see more of this, Dale Sveum.
UPDATE: Two at-bats, two doubles, the second driving in a run.
