I'm not worried about Gray. In Fantasy Baseball I have him on many teams, He is back from injury, but well worth having.
However Castillo stinks. I wouldn't trade my worst player for Castillo. It's not just a couple bad games. Castillo has stunk all season and he stunk a lot in 2020. Bauer, Gray and Disco carried Reds in 2020, but Castillo was not that good.
Something is wrong with Castillo. Well, his big problem may be attitude. He doesn't challenge hitters. He doesn't pound that first strike in. He falls behind on counts. Bob Gibson had a mean attitude. It was his mound and his game. He got after the hitters. Castillo on the other hand is all smiles and playful on the mound. He nibbles and nibbles falling behind on all the hitters.
Right now Castillo is worst pitcher on Reds, and if he was younger he would deserve being sent back to The Minors. That is how bad Castillo is. It's not just a couple games. Castillo stinks every game now. I don't know if he is smoking that funny stuff, or what it is, but he has lost his Edge. Everything is all smiles to him as he never challenges the hitters and goes after them. He has good stuff, but he plays around on the mound too much. He is TOO happy go lucky. Whatever he had been doing right in his good years, he has lost it.
Gray back from injury will get stretched out and get his innings back. Gray has good stuff except when he does the Castillo imitation pitch. Castillo stinks and is nobody to imitate.
Castillo is one of the worst pitchers in baseball, and has been all season and into last season. That is bad news for the Reds. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Can he turn his game around ? Reds better hope so.
Gray on the mound is an intense worker like Tom Seaver was. Castillo is the opposite, just doesn't seem focused anymore. As if he is on a beach in the islands. Too laid back, No edge. All great pitchers have had that edge, and Castillo no longer has it. Announcers have mentioned him not going after hitters anymore. Castillo has turned into one of worst pitchers in baseball. It is why I refused to draft him in 2021 Fantasy, because I saw too much bad Castillo games in 2020.
