Starlin Castro has hit for the Chicago Cubs, but his defense at shortstop has been below average.

The Cubs have been slowly adding young offensive talent to their Major League roster, which may eventually make Castro's bat less important than his glove.

Chicago could easily move Addison Russell from second to shortstop.

"If the Cubs' front office is for maxing out the situation at hand, it will take advantage of Castro's friendly contract, his offensive potential and his friendly team demeanor and look to move him for pitching," writes Jesse Rogers.

"Despite the game-winning hits, his value isn’t as high as it once was, according to two scouts who have watched the Cubs this year. The miscues on defense have been glaring, and it takes more than a few late-inning hits to impress other teams. Overall, Castro is hitting .267 with a .301 on-base percentage. Those numbers won't net the Cubs pitcher Cole Hamels. Either way, I feel the Cubs will eventually choose this option and package Castro while moving Russell to shortstop."
