The question was finally asked.
During Matt Nagy’s presser two weeks ago, Brad Biggs asked it bluntly.
“What makes Juan Castillo better than Harry Hiestand?”
As delicately as the head coach tried to answer, the truth was just as blunt.
“Juan’s biggest strength is his ability to teach and reach his players,” Nagy said. “There’s going to be times when he chews their tails out and there’s going to be other times when he’s giving them nothing but love.”
Castillo has a long history of developing late-round picks in need of polish.
