Furcal Sits Again

For the 4th straight day Joe Torre has decided against starting Rafael Furcal at shortstop. Once again, Juan Castro gets the nod. Furcal has been slowed down by a sore buttocks muscle and Torre obviously has no reservations using his entire roster. Castro has been off to a pretty good start offensively this year and his glove has always been top-notch.

Of course, Furcal has been off to a slow start this year and it's probable that Joe figures the extra rest could give his offensive catalyst the fresh start he needs.

I don't think 10 games off would heal him- either physically or mentally.

He's been bad the entire year.
