Jose Castillo was released today...

 

I'm just saying.

I'd take him in a heartbeat and what a shame it would be if we didn't sign him!

As long as he's in our price range (400 K). The Marlins won't spend more than that on a player.

I take him over Helms thats for sure...

More like 400 pennies.

I like the guy, he was great with pittsburgh. Wonderful defender toO!

I really hope we pick him up quickly... remember his 7 homers in 1 month?

He's coming off a $2 million contract, he'll be in his fourth year...I really kinda doubt you'll be getting him for the league minimum or anything less than what he made last season.

 

And frankly why do we need him anyways? Have you looked at his career OBP?

You'd get him less than $2. Probably in the 750k range. No one is signing him to start. I'd try and sign Mike Lamb/Pedro Feliz/Corey Koskie to a 1 year deal for cheap and I'd have grabbed D'Antona in the Rule V draft. And I only say that so we can let the pitchers develop another year before sending one out to fix the new positional hole and see if Hanley's defense improves so we can see if we really need a SS versus a 3B. Then looked at this list below to fill out the last infield slot.

 

Backup Infielders - Jose Castillo/Pete Orr/Jorge Cantu/Alex Cintron/Tony Graffinino/Todd Walker/Jose Valentin

 

Take your pick. Maybe Marcus Giles stock has fallen so far the Marlins can try to rehabilitate him for nothing.

Well thought out. I didn't realize their were so many options at third base in the FA market that can potentially come cheap. Now that I think of it, why don't we give Corey Koskie a look?

I like him alot, but only for sub $1 million

.604 OPS

 

and i'm assuming you mean for him to start at 3rd?

 

we're better off with amezaga

I wouldn't mind giving him an opportunity.

Giving him a chance to start would sound interesting to him u would think. If he does come cheap u never know.

What, Marlins en Miami isn't working?

Venezuelan Winter League

 

Caracas 9, Anzoategui 5

Indians outfielder Franklin Gutierrez homered twice and free agent Carlos Mendez added a three-run blast as the Leones downed the first-place Caribes. The Pirates' Jose Castillo had four hits, scored twice and plated a run in the winning effort. Box score.

 

 

:mischief

Are you guys serious?

 

Career numbers:

 

.256 average, .297 On-Base, .380 slugging, .680 OPS

 

And that's no small sample size, that's 1492 career at-bats under his belt.

 

PASS.

seems like him and hanley would be a nice double play combo up the middle though.....and he did put up decent numbers in 2006 when he had a full season.
