BP Annual Player Comments

YearComment
2018 He may not have the cheekbones to grace the cover of a romance novel or the acting chops to feign surprise at the pinnacle of human engineering in sprayable dairy form, but for the rest of his life Fabio Castillo will be able to tell anyone who'll listen that he was a major-league pitcher once upon a time.
2012 An injury-plagued 2011 season didn’t paint an accurate picture of reliever Fabio Castillo; a broken bone in his foot turned his power arsenal into a powerless arsenal. When healthy, Castillo has the stuff to pitch at the major league level, with a plus (to plus-plus) fastball and a sharp slider thrown with velocity and tilt. With a deep queue of quality relief arms eagerly awaiting opportunity, Castillo will need to quickly regain the form that made him a 40-man roster addition after the 2010 season or risk getting swallowed by the depth.
2011 A prototypical late-inning power arm with a mid-90s fastball and a bat-evading hard slider, Fabio Castillo was one of the first big international signings for the Rangers back in 2005 and finally harnessed his talent in 2010, earning a deserved promotion to Double-A and pitching capably in the Arizona Fall League.
