Arizona sends second player to Reds
Thursday, August 14, 2008
PITTSBURGH — A second player in the Adam Dunn deal has been identified — a catcher who isn't a catcher.
Wilkin Castillo, 24, is listed as a catcher, but in recent times with Arizona's Class AAA Tucson he has played shortstop, third base and left field.
In 104 games this season he has hit .254 with six home runs and 47 RBIs for Tucson. He will join the Reds' Triple-A club in Louisville.
Castillo joins pitcher Dallas Buck as announced acquisitions, with pitcher Micah Owings and his problems yet to be resolved.
The Diamondbacks are not happy that Owings' name surfaced as one of the two players to be announced later as part of the Dunn trade.
They wanted him to clear waivers before they told him he was part of the trade, but his name surfaced quickly.
Owings was supposed to pitch Wednesday for Tucson, but was scratched with a shoulder problem. An injured player cannot be placed on waivers, so the Diamondbacks can't put him there until he is healthy. It is expected that the Reds will put him through a physical before he is accepted in the trade.
