Welcome to Week 20 of the Cut List. This week I'm taking a look at Starlin Castro, Jon Lester, Jed Lowrie, and Eric Thames. I explain why each player should be dropped in most standard shallow leagues. Last week's cut candidates (Cesar Hernandez, Matt Kemp, Asdrubal Cabrera, Tim Anderson) went a combined 16-for-66 with seven runs, two home runs, eight RBI, and one stolen base. I think last week was one of my better pieces all year and I hope my suggestions have helped through twenty weeks. [...]

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro could be headed out of Miami by the end of this month. The Yankees are going to be without Aaron Judge for some time, so could Castro be a fit in New York? Apparently, Castro could be a possible fit for the Yankees, according to Buster Olney and Max Wildstein. It's unclear how much interest the Yankees have in Castro, but his bat is legit. Castro is hitting .289/.335/.409 with eight home runs and 40 RBI this season with Miami.

Welcome to Week 15 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. As the season inches ever closer to the All-Star break, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or to deal a down-and-out disappointment grows shorter with every plate appearance. Getting the jump on identifying the catalytic variables and telling trends in these player's recent offensive performances could be th[...]

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro put together a strong game on Monday, going two-for-five with a double and a home run. He's now hitting .299 on the year with seven home runs and 34 RBI. Castro has been great at second for the Marlins in 2018, however, like most veterans in Miami there's a chance he is moved. If he gets an opportunity to start everyday he makes for a solid middle infield option, if he is moved and relegated to a bench role, his value would vanish.

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro went 2-5 on Friday with an RBI and a run scored. He's now hitting .297 with five home runs, 32 RBI and four stolen bases over 89 games in 2018. He's one of the few veterans on a young Marlins team and is coming off of an All-Star season, making him a prime trade candidate. If a contender is looking for a utility infielder than Castro could be their target. On the Marlins, Castro will continue to hit lead off and see regular playing time, making him a [...]

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro went 2-for-4 on Monday in the Marlins 2-0 loss to the Mets. Batting third in the order, Castro was the only Miami player with multiple hits in the shutout. Castro is now hitting a respectable .296 on the year, although he only has two home runs after hitting 16 and 21 the last two seasons in New York, respectively. [...]

After not hitting a home run in the month of April, Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro hit his second home run of May on Friday night for his only hit in Miami's 6-3 win over Atlanta. Castro is currently tied for the lead with 18 RBI this season, leads the team in runs scored with 21 and is second behind J.T. Realmuto with a .287 average. [...]

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro launched his first homer of the year on Saturday in a 6-0 Miami win. After Saturday's game, Castro is batting .308 with one homer and 13 RBI on the season. The former Yankee has had himself a nice week too, slashing .350/.417/.650 with five RBI and five runs scored. It was only a matter of time before Castro got his power going, a positive sign for his patient fantasy owners.

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro is picking up right where he left off last season. The first-year Marlin has notched three RBI over his first three games in South Beach, much to the delight of the Marlins, a team that lost most of its offensive production in the offseason. Castro launched 16 homers in 2017, and it's only a matter of time before he gets his first one of 2018.
