December 26, 200421 yr A small blurb in Phil Rogers weekly column: Keep your eye on Fabio Castro, a little lefty in the White Sox's system who is having a solid winter in the Dominican Republic at just 19. He's been lightly pitched by the Sox thus far, going 21-7 in the low minors, working mostly as a reliever
December 26, 200421 yr A lot of people here really like Castro going into last season. He's Arnie Munoz like, with a small build. He had numbers of 1-1 2.35 ERA in Winstom - Salem, and 4-0 in Kanny with a 3.00 ERA. He should start next season with either the Warthogs and Barons, and with the lack of good lefty relievers in the system, he could move quickly if he continues to post good numbers at every stop.
December 27, 200421 yr Ahhh yes, it was truly a great day when I was searching through random stats a few years back and was like holy f*** Mike check out this Castro guys numbers. We just figured he was roster fodder and then saw he was an 18 year old lefty at the time. Fab's got some potential, but you got to wonder about durability. It will be good seeing how he does at the higher levels, but I don't know if he'll pitch much in Bham this year or not. I'm assuming he'll start the season in WS.
December 29, 200421 yr lol when I first read this I thought it said Fidel Castro and I was like, what???? But now I see.
December 29, 200421 yr lol when I first read this I thought it said Fidel Castro and I was like, what???? But now I see. Actually, Fidel once tried out for the Washington Senators. He was a pitcher, iirc.

December 29, 200421 yr I did not know that. That's interesting. Ya Yas was about 25 when he was pitching.
December 29, 200421 yr Ya Yas was about 25 when he was pitching. Damn. I've been on the receiving end of a lot of "old" jokes lately. Do all you people turn mean when it gets cold or what?
December 29, 200421 yr Actually, Fidel once tried out for the Washington Senators. He was a pitcher, iirc. I thought it was even the Yankees he tried out for? maybe I am wrong though...
December 30, 200421 yr I thought it was even the Yankees he tried out for? maybe I am wrong though... Sorry, urban legend. Snopes
