So it begs the question why doesn't Cherington weigh in on this. It's ridiculous that Castillo isn't playing everyday.

my guess is that Cherington does weigh in on this. That the front office provides Shelton with "recommendations" on when to play some of the players. Probably based on some sort of analytics which may be wasted on some of these guys.
