Derek: "You get Castillo, like I asked?"

Thad: "Yessiree, boss. One Diego Castillo in St Paul's pen, as ordered."

Derek: "Excellent."

Long pause.

Derek: "Wait...say that again. Bullpen?"

Can't tell the players without a program

Get all the Diego Castillo's you can find. Any Castillo. I want a Castillo to Castillo to Castillo triple play. I want a Castillo on every base, at bat, on deck, and in the hole... Castillo gets the win, the hold, and the save. I want a Castillo selling popcorn...

Thad: Oh, by the way it turns out he’s a two way player like Ohtani. Pitches and plays OF and some IF.

I had a friend do this in Madden's draft-your-team mode.

It ended as well as you'd expect.

Though I think they were Johnsons or Smiths or something.

Really does make sense though, despite the humor involved, along with the Morris move. AAA isn't just about the last step for prospects, it's about depth options, rehab assignments, fliers that might turn out, re-sets when needed. But you also have to field a team. And when the parent club has injuries, and then on top of that, the AAA team has injuries, you have to make a few non relevant adds here and there. 

But while I'm expecting NOTHING, I admit to being SUPER INTRIGUED by the addition of the 1st Diego Cadtillo. Is there ANY CHANCE that he was available only due to poor mechanics and a poor spring? I know BP arms sometimes just DIE all of a sudden. But he's still only 30yo and has a 7yr track record of good to excellent. Might he be a steal that just needed a re-set?

And since you are part of the syndicate, you get a share!

I hope he’ll be able to stick with US, the list of teams he’s been DFA’d from is crazy long

"No, you numbskull, not Juan Diego Castillo!  That's a soccer player!"

This one's a VP at Bank of America. Seems like the type that might be able to negotiate a better TV deal. Worth an interview at least.

This is the Pohlads' kind of player!  All five tools: Gouge, Skim, Scam, Redline, and Foreclose!  He can truly do it all.
