http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/109 Recent articles about Jose Castillo en-us It's been a week since I did one of these, so all stats are from November 2-8, unless otherwise noted. In Arizona: Lorenzo Cain went 5-for-12 with two walks, scored twice, drove in two runs and stole three bases, raising his AFL line to .259/.403/.296. He still has just two extra base hits in 66 PAs. Taylor Green went 1-for-3 with a walk and scored a run. He's hitting .200/.364/.200 in 43 PAs. Jonathan Lucroy went 2-for-7 with a double and drove in two runs. He's hitting...

It’s usually of little consolation, but it’s better than being inconsolable. For a couple of decades, the Giants haven’t had to watch a parade down Sunset Boulevard. Or do they call it "The Sunset Boulevard?" No matter. We haven’t had to watch Tommy Lasorda gurgle something vile while holding a trophy above his head. That’s…something, at least. And...

The non-move of pulling Castillo back, to me is not to much of a surprise. Castillo has never been the greatest with his bat .256 career average with 33 homers and 181 homers over 4 seasons. His strength has always been his defense at the hot corner, which is something the Giants are looking for.

We explain why the Marlins dropping Jose Castillo is such great news for Jorge Cantu, and why it is okay to take a flier on him.

We explain why this may or may not work out.

The Marlins inked Jose Castillo to a contract in December and now have inked Jorge Cantu to a deal as well to compete for the starting gig. MLB is reporting? MLB.com has learned from a Major League Baseball Players Association source that the Marlins reached agreement on Thursday with Cantu on a one-year contract worth $500,000, plus incentives that could tack on another $100,000 based on plate ...

At this point it looks like any warm body who can somewhat play is going to get a chance. After reading about a rumor of the Marlins signing both Jose Castillo and Jorge Cantu from a reader on MB.com, I became skeptical. As of yesterday, it was official. The Marlins signed ex Pittsburgh Pirate utility infielder Jose Castillo to a one year contra...
