Casilla is set to be the full-time starter next season, so with it can't hurt to get him some experience over the final two months of this season, while saving a couple million bucks on Castillo's contract. The players the Twins got are non-prospects and I don't expect either one to ever reach the majors, but the goal here was to get rid of Castillo and that's precisely what TR did. <BR/><BR/>I'll admit though, I thought that Castillo's trade value would be a <I>little</I> higher.Nick N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00848574337121154690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-50578802790823142982007-07-30T22:34:00.000-05:002007-07-30T22:34:00.000-05:00Is it me or was this one of the most irrelevant tr...Is it me or was this one of the most irrelevant trades the Twins have ever done. I understand this third base prospect is supposed to be good, but did Ryan actually say that he is confident having, Punto (lol), Casilla (seriously?), and an unproven rookie? Atleast attempting at Wiggington would have shown hope. I'll be in Minny Sunday for my first trip to the dome, ever. As a die-hard Twinkie, this was not the news I needed to hear!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
