Castro could move in lineup: Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro went 1 for 4 with a pair of strikeouts during a 6-0 loss to the White Sox in an interleague contest on Sunday. Castro has recorded just three hits over his past five games, including just one for extra bases, to drop his batting average to .313 on the season. He has still managed to drive in three runs during that five-game span and leads all National League shortstops with 25 RBI in 41 games. (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Castro is easily the Cubs' best hitter, but his spot in the batting order could be shifting. Chicago manager Dale Sveum hinted after Sunday's game -- the team's sixth straight loss -- that he could shake up the top of the lineup, which includes Castro at the No. 3 spot. Though Sveum did not indicate where the 22-year-old would be placed, Castro has continued to be exceptional during his third major-league season and has carried a .300-plus batting average since April 13. Keep him rolling as a must-start in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/21/2012).

Gordon Beckham hit a tie-breaking homer in the eighth inning Friday and the Chicago White Sox overcame the loss of star Paul Konerko to beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 in what was likely Kerry Wood's final major league game.
Starlin Castro showed during his rookie campaign that he can definitely handle major-league pitching and he proved it even more emphatically in 2011 by leading the National League in hits. He batted .307 with 39 RBI and a .428 slugging percentage in the first half and earned his first trip to the All-Star game in July. He posted the same average down the stretch and finished with 10 home runs, 66 RBI and 22 stolen bases. While he struck out 96 times and walked just 35, his 207 hits were fourth-most in the majors. Some have questioned Castro's commitment to baseball -- as he was benched two games last season for mental errors -- but he definitely has the talent to be a solid option in Fantasy. He still has a ton of upside at age 21 and he could be in line for a 20-20 campaign in 2012 if he gets some of the intangibles worked out. Castro is worthy of being taken in the early rounds.
