southsider2k5 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Well that answers the question as to if the Sox are going to move Castillo this winter. Very surprised by this to be honest, but at the same time, they must think that Seby is ready enough if a 3rd catcher is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light hitting catcher who was ok defensively. No big loss, do wish him the best of luck though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Wish kevan the best. A little surprised they didn’t want to ship castillo off and keep kevan but no big loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Not the most likely of scenarios, but there was discussion that Castillo is one of Machado's best friends, and could potentially help with recruitment of Manny. Maybe they will keep him around for this purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Wish Kevan the best. Was great with that young staff and was our best pitch framer. I know he is close with alot of guys on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 They tried to outright Smith and couldn't get him through. They need to add Seby Zavala to the 40-man. There's no way they could keep 4 catchers on the 40 man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Couldn't Sox pull him back and trade to trade for a fringe prospect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 They can't let Wel go when they still owe him. Imagine an All-Star team of Sox FAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 This makes me pretty sad. Will always root for Kevan Smith. Just a damn good guy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Smith was a good soldier. He did his job when called upon and did it well. I wish him the best. Will always remember the HR he hit wearing the special jersey's with Daniel Webbs name on it. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/kevan-smith-honors-daniel-webb-style-players-weekend-home-run 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonxctf Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 He had the highest batting average on the team, for those with 100AB or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no power though and he's already like 30 years old. I don't know why people (especially on Twitter) are making such a huge deal out of this. He isn't that good and wasn't the future at the catching position anyway. Who cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easy to root for and produced at the plate (despite lack of power)? And he was probably our better defender and framer of the group so that matters for the pitchers, even if he was unlikely to be on the team after next year.
