EvilJester99 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Mets Acquire Javier Castillo By Mike Axisa [June 14 at 9:57am CST] Bart Hubbuch of The New York Post tweets that the Mets have acquired infielder Javier Castillo from the White Sox, and have assigned him to Triple-A Buffalo. The 25-yr old Castillo hit 262-.319-.387 in 182 plate appearances for Triple-A Charlotte this year, playing third base exclusively. He also has experience at shortstop, but hasn't played the position regularly since 2006. No word on what Chicago receives in the deal at this time. Castillo has never played in the big leagues.

Looks like they jumped the gun trading Castillo with Andy Phillips filing for free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook will probably be one, but, who would likely be the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
