Latest News
| Welington Castillo riding favorable BABIP |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/9/13) Cubs catcher Welington Castillo has excelled in 2013, hitting .305/.347/.400 in 102 plate appearances. However, his .431 batting average on balls in play is second in the majors for batters with at least 100 plate appearances and is likely in line for some regression.
More troubling, Castillo has struck out 29 times this season while walking just once. Only Jeff Keppinger has a lower walk rate (no walks in 112 PAs) out of batters with at least 100 plate appearances. If the underlying peripherals maintain their course, it would be shocking to see Castillo hit .300 over the remainder of the season.

| Welington Castillo out with sore ankle |
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/5/13) Cubs catcher Welington Castillo is out Sunday with a sore ankle, MLB.com reports.
Castillo was struck by a pitch Saturday but stayed in the game. The injury isn't expected to have lasting effects; the Cubs are playing a day game after a night game and may have sat him Sunday regardless. Expect him to return to the lineup soon.

| Welington Castillo doesn't like walks |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(4/25/13) Cubs catcher Welington Castillo went 1 for 4 and drove in a run Thursday in his team's 4-3 win over the Marlins. However, he also struck out twice, giving him 10 strikeouts in his last 18 at-bats.
More troubling, Castillo has yet to draw a walk this season, making him the new leader in strikeouts without drawing a walk after Rick Ankiel walked for the first time this season Thursday.

| Welington Castillo notches four hits to continue torrid April |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(4/18/13) Cubs catcher Welington Castillo went 4 for 4 in his team's 6-2 win over the Rangers Thursday. He's picked up at least one hit in nine of his last 10 games (and 10 of 12 overall), hitting .425/.452/.575 during a torrid start to the season.

| Time to believe in Welington Castillo? |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(4/14/13) Count me among the people intrigued by Cubs catcher Welington Castillo's start to the season. My colleague Nando Di Fino was touting him all spring and I'm starting to see why.
Castillo's BABIP (.458) is a little extreme through his first nine games, but he has a career .363 BABIP in the majors, so he's had good success when he's made contact. While Castillo's average might eventually decline, his power could be here to stay. Castillo, who is slugging .515, slugged .488 over four seasons at Triple-A. I admit I was a bit hesitant to buy into it because Castillo's slugging percentage might have been inflated in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Up until Triple-A, he never slugged higher than .423.
I'm not ready to completely jump on the Castillo bandwagon, but I'm starting to see there could be potential here and why Nando continues to tout the 25-year-old catcher.

Hit Parade for Week 7

| Welington Castillo split time behind the plate with Steve Clevenger last season after Geovany Soto was traded and had his most productive campaign in the majors yet. He saw action in 52 games and batted .265 with five home runs and 22 RBI, which were both careers highs. His .418 slugging percentage shows some budding power and the 25-year-old is expected to compete with Clevenger and Dioner Navarro for playing time during the spring. Castillo has the potential to put up some decent power numbers with a full season of at-bats, so keep an eye on the position battle during spring training. Castillo is worth targeting in NL-only formats on Draft Day but don't be surprised if he becomes more valuable in Fantasy if his role increases. (Updated 12/11/12) |
