Davey Martinez didn’t want anyone to read too much into his decision to start Starlin Castro at third base on Tuesday, a few days after he’d told reporters wondering about the struggles Carter Kieboom is experiencing again this spring, that neither Castro or the 20-year-old Luis García were taking grounders or doing work at the hot corner.
“It doesn’t mean much. As you know, Carter — he’s got to compete, but I want to make sure we cover all our bases, that we get [Castro] over there and see what that looks like,” he said of Castro now starting his first game at third.
