When Castro reported to Greenville last year, he was considered an extra infielder. After Travis Wilson was promoted to Richmond in May, Castro took over at shortstop. He excelled, earning a starting job in both the Southern League and Double-A all-star games. The lone Greenville player selected to play in the Double-A event, he responded with a double and a home run in three at-bats, and was promoted to Triple-A shortly thereafter. Castro has to be evaluated over a period of five or six games to appreciate what he does. He's a steady defender who's capable of putting the bat on the ball, and he'll surprise some pitchers with his occasional pop. He also has an unmatched love for the game and works as hard as anyone in his preparation. A potential utilityman at the major league level, Castro is expected to return to Richmond after getting a look during spring training.
