I think that, for one reason or another, LoDuca was disliked by management. Maybe it had to do with gambling. Maybe he was bad in the clubhouse. Who knows?

This guy may not be so bad, in light of the other choices (assuming that there was legitimate reason not to keep LoDuca). And I do suspect that Castro will play much more, just like many fans wanted.

I have no idea whether the contract amounted to over-paying or not.
