Atlanta Braves Thinking 2B Platoon With Daniel Castro?

If you’ve been paying attention during the month of September – and yes, it would be an entirely forgivable offense if you haven’t been – then you might have noticed Daniel Castro getting some fairly significant playing time.

You might have also noticed that Jace Peterson is getting less. Here’s the breakdown:

The green shading indicates ‘starts’. The summary is as follows:

  • Peterson: 8-42 in September
  • Castro: 7-24 this month

Before getting to the point here, I have some further stat breakdowns for you:

Due to the sample sizes variations and such, it’s difficult to directly compare apples and apples here, though the blue shading kinda highlights the better performances for some of the categories.
