I think I heard the fan was released from the hospital today, and Castillo was due in court earlier today.

He's a big guy, a high strikeout right handed relief pitcher. 4-3 with a 2.22 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and six saves in 34 games in single A. He could be someone down the line, who knows.

I think this was his second suspension and it was 7 days. One more strike and he's done.

Why can't we get rid of Ward and use Micah Hoffpauir as our pinch hitting specialist. He is still raking in AAA while Ward continues to sputter.

They are the same type of player. Only difference is WarD gets payed millions so Hoffpauir will stay down probably until September.

Micah Hoffpauir today:
4/5, 4 R, 4 HR (19), 4 RBI

What a joke. He's better than Ward get him up here.
