sportsfan8703 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 "Castillo debuted in 2008-2009 at age 22; he went 15 for 43 with 3 doubles, a triple and four walks. He fielded .911, backing up Mario Vega at second base and Adonis Garc?a at third. As a utility man in 2009-2010, he hit .303/.333/.404. He became the starting right fielder in 2010-2011 and responded with a .324/.373/.555 line. He hit 22 doubles and 18 homers, scored 75 runs and drove in 79 in 88 games. He was 10th in the Cuban Serie Nacional in RBI, tied Urmaris Guerra for 9th in total bases (202) and led with 29 steals, 6 more than runner-up Yoelvis Leyva. He was caught only six times. Surprisingly, he had only stolen successfully twice in eight tries over his first two campaigns." http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Rusney_Castillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruzious Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 At some point, it makes more sense to go after one Abreu or Cespedes over a handful or 2 of Urritia's and Alvari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Castillo can sting the ball from the right side of the plate, projecting as a line drive bat who hits a lot of doubles and triples rather than home runs. He's an aggressive hitter with good bat speed, though his swing can get long at times and he will expand his strike zone. Sounds like he'll fit right in!!!!!!!!
