SCOTTSDALE, Arizona -- If you run into Starlin Castro today -- not that you necessarily would -- buy him a celebratory drink. He's legal! Today is Starlin's 21st birthday, and at times, it's hard to remember that a lot of players his age are in Double-A, or playing their junior year of college ball. Castro, though he still needs to work on his defense, had a good offensive season in 2010 and is having a very good spring, leading the team in runs (10) and hitting .367/.392/.673 with a team-leading four home runs, a couple of which were monster shots. He could be poised for a big season, particularly, I think, a power surge.
According to a tweet from Paul Sullivan earlier today, Scott Moore, Bobby Scales and Matt Camp are among roster cuts today. No surprise (to me at least) on Scales and Camp, but I did think that Moore had shown well enough to get a shot. That probably means Blake DeWitt has made the team. Moore will likely get some time at 2B at Iowa. Also cut, via tweet from Bruce Miles, were Augie Ojeda (no surprise, as he's been hurt) and Fernando Perez. Camp, Ojeda, Moore and Scales were sent to minor league camp. Perez was optioned to Iowa.
Matt Garza takes the mound against the White Sox' Phil Humber, who is one of several candidates to replace the injured Jake Peavy. The Sox asked for and were granted permission to use the DH (as the A's did today); Garza will bat. Braden Looper will get another shot at showing he's still got something left today. Chris Sale and Sergio Santos are also scheduled to throw for the White Sox. Important note: today's game begins at 4:05 CDT, an hour later than usual, at the request of ESPN2, who will televise the game nationally. Complete lineups after the jump. Cubs lineup:
White Sox lineup:Fukudome RF Castro SS Byrd CF Ramirez 3B Pena 1B Soriano LF Barney 2B Hill C Garza P
Pierre LF Vizquel 2B Dunn DH Konerko 1B Rios CF Quentin RF Pierzynski C Ramirez SS Morel 3B
Here's all the media information for today.

Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today. Today's game is being televised by CSN Chicago; if you're outside the CSN area, you can see it nationally on ESPN2. Also, there's an internet audiocast on MLB.com with Mick Gillispie.

There will be an overflow thread posting at 5:30 p.m. CDT. As usual, the overflow thread will NOT post on the front page but will be in the "Recent Stories In Game Threads" box on the right sidebar. If you need an extra overflow thread beyond that one, post it in the FanShot section.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

Looks like Byrd is gonna get a lot of time hitting third.
Not a big fan, I gotta say.
Victor Conte
I hope that Victor Conte is helping Byrd without anything in the way of performing-enhancing drugs.
2011 - The 103rd time is the charm.
Castro
If Starlin can hit 15-20 hrs as some are suggesting, he should be batting third.
Again, Have Hill As A Coach Somewhere In the System
He just “ain’t” a major league caliber player. The same could be said of Bobby Scales. They’ve both had their time in the majors.
2011 - The 103rd time is the charm.
Why we gotta make him a coach?
Cut him a check, hand him a plane ticket, hugs all around and tell him “see ya when I see ya”. It’s really that simple. Happens on other teams all the time.

i dislike Hill as a player
not as a human and I think he’d have something to offer some young catchers in how to work with a pitching staff. just keep him away from being a hitting coach.

Your speaking my language Ed
I’ve been saying this, why do we have this fixation with keeping bad baseball players around the organization?
I see it too
If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.

Is it just me...
or does that photo make him look like he has thrown back a few already?
Cards getting creamed by the Mets. Don't if I should laugh or feel bad.

Well, if things go to form...like Silva pretty much locking up the 5th spot after yesterdays outting...
Hill will probably go 3-4 and throw out a runner trying to steal, which will lock up the backup catcher’s spot. Geez, this management is, to quote the great TJ11,…amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

the great TJ11
i was thinking this morning
Not that i’m excusing silvas play, but the thought occured to me, what if hose heart issues he had prevented him from working out most of the offseason? Could this maybe explain his weight and be factoring into why the cubs havent released or traded him?

Another Player Named Lake
I believe Steve Lake now could hit better than Hill.
2011 - The 103rd time is the charm.
And I'm fairly certain that pretty much each and every one of us BCBers...
given 37 ABs, would probably be on that list, too.

If silva was pitching
I’d be at least 1-37. Maybe hill should hit off silva.
Hill is above Cerda

Wouldn't "basically anyone who is paid to hit, plus some pitchers" have been easier?

Oh joy
Hill catching………….barf! Why not Soto or Beef? I don’t care what the frig pitchers say about Hill……this isn’t a damn popularity contest, it’s baseball. Put the best team on the field.
That only starts happening when you put the best GM in charge of the team.

Oh, Donuts!

Agree
with you on this. We also have a few other bodies in the organization to shed, ie., Crane Kenney and a better run baseball operation. Maybe they can take a page out of the Blackhawks organization. Naw, not going to happen so who am I kidding.
Oh well I can dream!
He makes me feel old
Castro makes me old. He’s less than half my age.
He was born when I was 3 months away from graduating from college.
Part of me wants to do the math and figure out exactly when he’ll be less than half my age.
Nothing happens unless it's first a dream
Heck my sons 10 years older than him
How old do you think that makes me feel.LOL
If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.
I still remember
I still remember who was the first player to make the club younger than me. Derrick May by a week. 7/14/68 vs 7/7/68

oKAY
OKay I feel really old. He is 21 years 260 days younger than me. Which means he will be half my age on December 9th.
Nothing happens unless it's first a dream
This is only hoping
Carrie muscat in recent article said" Barney may have passed Dewitt on the depth chart.". Key word here “may”
My only concern
My only concern is that they will play the Barney theme when he bats.

Watching the Cubs-Sox game on ESPN2. Love the camera shot from behind home plate! I get tired of the shot from center field behind the pitcher. I wish they would show more of the behind-the-catcher shots like the old days. Go Cubbies!!

Pitchers like to pitch to him
and Geo has caught three in a row.
Just got the new ESPN the Magazine in the mail...MLB Preview 2011...
They have the Cubs finishing 4th at 82-80.
They also have the Cubs pitching staff ranked 1st in the division: “They don’t have an ace, but they’re strong top to bottom.”
Batting…they have the Cubs 4th in the division: “Too many low OBP players prevent Chicago from being more dangerous.”
