The Mets have acquired Chicago White Sox's minor league infielder Javier Castillo (source MLBTR). The 25 y/o career minor leaguer was once the 17th ranked prospect in Appalachian League ( rookie league) with the Bristol White Sox's.The Bison's infield is as depleted as the Mets; with Argenis Reyes, Mark Kiger and Andy Green on the DL, while Javier Valentin is limited to DH duty with a sore shoulder and veteran Mike Lamb completely in-effective. Castillo will now join Luis Rivera, Jonathan Malo, Michele Abreu, Wily Mo Pena, Mike Lamb and Javier Valentin ( when his shoulders better) in the infield rotation.The right handed hitter is a career .265 hitter in AAA and has spent most of his career splitting time between short stop and third base but has a few games at second and first.

When I checked the box score and saw it was Johan Santana, I was absolutely shocked, and even moreso when I saw his line: 3 innings pitched, 9 hits, 9
