Luis Castillo Close To Joining Phillies
By Mike Axisa [March 20, 2011 at 6:46pm CST]
Former Mets second baseman Luis Castillo is close to joining the Phillies, a
source told ESPN New York's Adam Rubin. Castillo was scheduled to clear
waivers at 1pm ET today, and Philadelphia will only have to pay him the
league minimum.
The Phillies have a bit of a question mark at second base right now given
Chase Utley's knee injury, and Castillo would give them a veteran stopgap.
Although he hit just .235/.337/.267 in 299 plate appearances last season,
Castillo is only a year removed from a .387 OBP. The Mets are on the hook for
the 35-year-old's $6MM salary, less whatever Philadelphia pays him.
More than 2,500 MLBTR readers predicted that Castillo would join the Phillies.
