This appears to be more of a minor league depth signing than anything. The Astros would almost certainly call up Castro to fill in for injury unless he falls on his face in the spring.

Well, I don’t suppose he could do worse than the other two catchers on the roster. Don’t the Astros have a catcher in like Double A that’s supposed to be ready soon?

Sorry if this ends up as a repost, but yes, there is no way this guy gets a call before Jason Castro, their #1 pick from 2008.

Sorry, my computer didn’t even show your post. If I had seen it, I wouldn’t have said anything, haha

no worries. just another thought on castro… i imagine the astros will not let him break camp with the team, but would consider him for a call up in late may or so, in order to turn him into a super 2 player, where you get 4 years of club arbitration control. if he performs in the minors, there’s no way they let him sit there past mid June.
