There was a good article about it on Fangraphs for anyone who hasn’t seen it: (go to Castillo's Fangraphs profile if you're interested in seeing the article). Summary: Castillo maintains a league-average wOBA simply by hardly ever swinging the bat.

It's wishful thinking, and I honestly have no idea what the Marlins/Cubs FO would want in return for those two guys. What I do know is that the M's ought to pounce on them now, while their values are low. I have to stress that we have absolutely no idea what Zduriencik has up his sleeve. It's best to wait and see what happens. Greg: He'll realize that soon enough. I'd put my money on a 2-year 5M deal with a bunch of incentives. Even if he doesn't produce like he did in 2009, which he almost definitely won't, he's still capable of above average defense and 20-30 homers.
