John Klima over at Baseballbeginnings.com has put up a scouting report of Astros farmhand and top prospect Jason Castro after seeing him play 12 innings in the Arizona Fall League.
I won't poach his material since it's a quick read, but it's got some really positive stuff about the Astros' up-and-coming catcher. I knew Castro was good defensively, but Klima is calling his defense plus-plus and says his D is better than 90% of the big league catchers he's seen recently, with a chance at being the best at his position once he makes it to the majors. You rarely see guys hit scores of 75 on the 20-80 scouting scale, but Klima gave Castro a 75 for fielding ability.
I'm looking forward to the day when Jason Castro is a Full-Fledged Astro, but I hope they don't bring him up too quickly...don't want to Towles him.
