Official Luis Castillo appreciation thread 

Post#1 » by Rocketsterps » Thu Aug 9, 2007 1:30 am

I love this guy! What a great pickup. The only guy I'd choose over Castillo is Brian Roberts because of his age and speed.

Stupid idea IMO.

Great move

Great deal

but i don't think castillo will help all that much...

Castillo stabilizes the position


Funny what was said a week ago till now.

In due time will this thread will actually be needed. Castillo will prove more valuable then most originally thought.

I thought it was a stupid deal at first before it was announced who we gave up. I was thinking Mulvey was going to go and disliked it but when it was announced Buttera and Martin I was happy with it.

Some people hated this move?

Did they forget how the Marlins dominated and disrupted with Pierre and Castillo at 1 & 2?

People just wanted Gotay to stay in the lineup. It's great we got to keep both.

^Ok, I can understand that. I like Gotay too, but defense was beginning to be a concern at that position.
