I saw this jersey for sale on eBay last night. I emailed the seller regarding if there is a LOA from the Tennessee Smokies stating the jersey was Castro's. Here's the response I received:
"The auction doesn't claim it to be worn by Castro, it was the jersey they replaced the one he wore in 2010 because it was cut into several swatch pieces and inserted in baseball cards. This is the only other jersey exactly like the one he wore during the 09 and 10 seasons. Smokies used these jerseys from 09-11. Kevin Rhoderick wore this particular jersey in 11."

After reading his response and re-reading the auction, I agree, he never stated the jersey was worn by Starlin, but the description and headline certainly seem to give off the idea that it is especially with the signature and the price he's looking to get for it. I figured I'd post this thread so hopefully no one purchases the jersey thinking it was Castros.
