In a post to his blog for the Bergen Record, Jeremy Cothran writes, “After games, Castillo often resembles a walking mummy, the way he’s wrapped from waist to toe in Ace bandages.”

…that’s terrible, yet totally funny

According to Manuel, the team will soon discuss whether the best course of action will be to simply put Castillo on the disabled list.

…the buzz from new orleans suggests that a second baseman from Triple-A could be promoted to take castillo’s spot on the roster, such as Argenis Reyes or Abraham Nunez…

Reyes, 25, is hitting .290 with 11 doubles and a .353 OBP in 79 games for Triple-A New Orleans, while hitting .358 in 81 at bats against left-handed pitchers.

Meanwhile, Nunez is batting just .191.

…frankly, Damion Easley has earned the chance to start in castillo’s place, regardless of whether castillo is on the disabled list…that said, i love the idea of having Reyes and Reyes as the middle infield duo…
