I figured it was only a matter of time with Castillo. His big arm doesn't outweigh all the baggage evidently. Definitely surprised with White getting released, thought he would be decent 1B filler for us for a few years anyway. Especially since he just came over in a trade. Oh well. Rosa getting cut is VERY surprising to me. I knew he was having issues learning the C position, but with his bat(previously anyway) I didn't think they would give up on him, by any stretch. Can't remember though, did I read something about him having an attitude issue as well though? Maybe something from AZPhil possibly?
