CSF Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 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.

farmteam Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Munoz wasn't exactly large himself though; 5'9", 145 lbs. IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 haha, i was wondering how much smaller a smaller munoz would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Jason has been sucking up to Fabio longer than Phil ever has. Suck it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 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.

YASNY Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I did not know that. That's interesting. Ya Yas was about 25 when he was pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
