'When is the season going to start?' Tigers Willi Castro says he's ready now

Lakeland, Fla. — Remember those two throwing errors by shortstop Willi Castro last week?

Yeah, we don’t either.

Castro has a way of quickly erasing negatives. He did it with his bat and glove Tuesday — a plus-5 swing on just two plays — in the Tigers’ 6-5 spring win over the Yankees at Joker Marchant Stadium.

“I feel really good right now,” Castro said. “I been saying to the guys, when is the season going to start? I just want to play.”

It’s easy to forget, too, that Castro only has 250 plate appearances in the major leagues.
