tidbit, will try to look at this a little more (later):

Is ther another leadoff candidate against LHP? You are wasting castillo's hits against LHP. Granted he has descent OBP, but they are all hits. If you can find another decent leadoff guy, perhaps you can use Castillo better there. Perhaps Eric Young? Otherwise, Castillo's offense is much like garret Anderson (absent the speed)

I think you need a better no. 7 hitter against RHP. perhaps trade away some of your bullpen depth. The line-up is dead after Wright. Can you get Murton?
