Castillo 9th, pitcher 8th.

If you bat castillo 8th instead, it just flips the pitcher with him. And if he hits (God forbid) 2nd, then the real hitters get pushed down one, and in your case, Thole drops to 8.

Doing that would then be dropping a potential .300 hitter like Josh Thole and a 30 home run guy like Ike Davis into the 7th and 8th spots in the lineup. As it is one of them is going to hit 7th anyway!

The reality is that Castillo most likely will not be here this year and that the team will be eating his contract along with Ollies!
