Jesus Castillo Designated For Assignment To Make Room For Belliard

The Dodgers have designated righthanded pitcher Jesus Castillo for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for new acquisition Ronnie Belliard.

The 25-year old Castillo was 7-8 with a 4.38 ERA in 26 starts for Double A Chattanooga. The Dodgers have ten days to trade or release Castillo. There is a chance, if he clears waivers, Castillo could be outrighted to the minors, even though the Lookouts' season ends on September 7.

So with the 10 days to trade or release Castillo

could he still be the PTBNL?

I believe he is still eligible, yes.

If he was

why wouldn’t they have simply announced both players at the time of the deal?

Its not likely. Good point.

Maybe a team blocked im.

Also, The Nats have the worst record.

They might get first pick for Castillo, which makes it easier to complete a trade.

Pirates DFA Jon Meloan, 3rd time he's been DFAed this year

And to think my

favorite column of all time was making fun of Ned for not using Meloan and trading Boom Boom for Proctor.

Guess this means that Jesus Castillo can no longer be a sleeper for me.

by meercatjohn on Aug 31, 2009 1:23 PM PDT reply actions

does this mean Jesus Castillo will be the PTBNL?

by matthewmafa on Aug 31, 2009 2:10 PM PDT reply actions

Will Belliard by active today?

If so won’t there have to be another move to make room on the 25 man?

by MammothDodger on Aug 31, 2009 2:21 PM PDT reply actions

Yes, and yes

by Eric Stephen on Aug 31, 2009 2:51 PM PDT up reply actions

Mark Loretta to the DL due to a inflamable bowel.

by Tripon on Aug 31, 2009 3:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Inflamable bowel???

Sorry. The thirteen year old in me can’t resist…
