Castro and Ausmus: A comparison

There is an anonymous commenter who comes round AC every so often comparing Jason Castro and his apparent lack of hitting to Brad Ausmus, a former Astro whose managing capabilities seem to fall in line with his hitting capabilities (that was a low blow. I actually haven't paid attention to whether or not Ausmus is a good manager.)

So I thought we could roll out some stats to see where Jason Castro falls. But first, some background:

Drafted with the 10th overall pick in the 2008 draft, Castro made his debut in 2010, hitting .205/.286/.287 with 41K:2BB.
