Past Fantasy Outlooks
2006
2005
2004
2003
Signed late in the year by the A's following another typical (read: yawn) Castillo year in the Royals chain. He'll be a minor league catcher somewhere.
If it is possible to have a career year with only 89 at-bats, Castillo did it in 2004. Called up in June when Benito Santiago and Kelly Stinnett both went down, Castillo responded with hits in five of his first six games. He added a seven-game hitting streak in late July and through August. Although the Royals look to be heading another direction with John Buck as the starter, they signed Castillo to a minor-league deal for 2005.
The acquisition of A.J. Pierzynski keeps Castillo buried in the third catcher slot, destined to spend most of his time at Triple-A. He has as much upside as you'd expect from a 34-year-old with 805 career at-bats and a .574 OPS.
Castillo is an all-field, no-hit catcher who is a long shot to win a backup catching job at this point. With the Giants in 2003, he'll likely provide org depth only, and probably will see no playing time with the big club.
