Baez likely to see time at 2B, 3B soon
MESA, Ariz. -- Chicago Cubs top prospect Javier Baez is closer to playing second or third base in a spring game after several days of morning practice at those positions. Expect him to start at second before long. "We're going to make sure when we put him there he's really comfortable and confident he can handle that side of the diamond," manager Rick Renteria said on Tuesday. "I think he's pretty close. It's going to happen, sure." Baez is a shortstop by trade but with former All-Star Starlin Castro playing the same position the Cubs are preparing Baez for an eventual call-up to the big...

Cubs cautious with Starlin Castro’s injury
MESA, Ariz. — Shortstop Starlin Castro says his injured left hamstring feels good enough to return to games this weekend, but team officials aren’t as eager.

Numbers say that Starlin Castro’s patience won’t improve as he ages
Patience is a virtue for hitters, but it’s not a trait that’s learned easily. Older hitters tend to be more patient than younger players, but impatient hitters don’t suddenly become walking men. Starlin Castro, who dropped to a .245 batting average and .631 OPS in 2013 after posting .300/.755, .307/.773 and .283/.753 in his first three seasons, has never walked much. He had 30 walks in 705 plate appearances in 2013, compared to 36 in 691 in 2012. Castro took...

Castro welcomes Baez — no shortstop rivalry
MESA, Ariz. — Four years ago, when teenager Starlin Castro arrived at spring training as the next big shortstop prospect, incumbent Ryan Theriot threw down the gauntlet: “He’s going to have to come and get it.” Barely two months later, he did. Now Castro is the incumbent, though he’s sidelined for the next week or more with a hamstring injury, and Javy Baez, the Cubs’ top-ranked prospect, is off to another strong start. He’s raising eyebrows and cries...
