The Baltimore Orioles outright Alberto Castillo to AAA
The Orioles have outrighted 33-year old lefty Alberto Castillo to AAA which could have made him a free agent but he elected to accept the assignment with the idea of making the Orioles in 2009. Castillo pitched in 28 games (0 starts) as a rookie last season and he was 1-0 with a 3.81 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. Castillo did have a problem with hitting batters as he nailed 7 of them in only 26 innings in 2008. He will have a solid shot of making the Orioles’ bullpen in 2009.
