As far as August days in a lost season go, this one's pretty good.

We're gonna have an OF of Soler, Castillo, and Alcantara in September aren't we?

Would Castillo really get sorted that quickly? I'm happy with April 1.

September (April 2015):

 

Alcantara

Baez

Rizzo

Castro

Soler

Castillo, R

Valbuena (Bryant)

Castillo, W

 

Mother of God.

Castillo will sign a major league contract and they have nothing to play for in September so why not? Get him reps at the level he'll start next season, not sure what the harm would be. Plus he's 27 isn't he? He's not some young buck who needs seasoning in the minors. Might as well play him during a time when everyone else is getting their cup of coffee.

Just thinking more paperwork and stuff. These international signings always seem to drag.

That's definitely not a sure thing.

 

But there's no paperwork issues to sort out, no crazy residency stuff to do or anything like that. He can sign today.

[WrigleyField 22]

Maybe it's the negotiation process then. I can't remember an IFA signing that went quickly.

Castillo is further along than guys like Soler and Puig in terms of being cleared when negotiations/tryouts began. He must have cleaner paperwork.

Gotta get Tunney's approval as well.

The Cubs somehow still have 16 guys from the opening day roster on the current team. Seems like a lot of turnover in the last month.

 

Shark, Hammel, Barney, Bonafacio, Russell, Schierholz
