Not having to give up much and not having to pick up money was a great move. My only questions about him are injuries and this: Castro is married with three children, and resides in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. In November 2004 he was charged for a rape that allegedly occurred in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania hotel room on August 28, 2003. On November 29, he pleaded no-contest to reduced misdemeanor indecent assault charges and was sentenced to a year of probation. Where did you find that? Not something I am happy to see.

I just figured since he was playing it must have been a false charge, but obviously if he pled, you have to believe something went down that shouldn't have. Edited June 1, 200916 yr by Dick Allen
June 1, 200916 yr He should catch Gavin Floyd every time he pitches as well as the day game after a night game.
