During a 43-game stint following the All-Star break, 37 of which were starts, he batted .279/.353/.434 and played above-average defense, which is about the best the team could've expected. Castillo is a capable enough youngster to hold down a starting job at this level, but he's a player who had a steep platoon split -- .195/.273/.336 against right-handers, .476/.532/.667 against lefties -- last year and lacks the upper-tier power necessary to vault himself into the top 10 at his position, even in an NL-only league. The promise of playing time should make him a fine No. 2 option in NL-only play, but he's probably not much more.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.8,"playerRater15DAY":-1.5,"positionRank":15}

Four-hit Game By Cubs Catcher Castillo
Cubs catcher Welington Castillo set a career high for hits in one game when he went 4 for 4 in Chicago's win over the Rangers. It was only the second time in the last five seasons that a Cubs catcher recorded four hits in one game; Geovany Soto had four hits in four at-bats against the Marlins at Wrigley Field on July 14, 2011. Castillo's four-spot on Thursday afternoon was his major league-high sixth multiple-hit game as a catcher this season.
