Idk man, it's not like Ellsbury was lighting it up when he got his chances in the playoffs. Might as well keep Hicks in there for his much better defense. It's not like either of them would have been the make or break based on how it turned out, though.

His defense was also woeful. I don't think it ever had a negative impact on the game as far as runs scoring because of it, but he was just lost out there. He always seemed like the kind of guy who lacked focus out there. With Gleyber coming up I would have no issue trying to trade Castro. I say they re-sign Frazier, have him at third for 2 years, start Gleyber at 2nd and when Frazier is washed up move him over to third.
