I still can’t believe the Cubs took Lendy Castillo in the draft and then kept him. And still have him in the organization.

And chose him to go to the AFL.

When you get the chance to have a 24 year old that spent the previous year in high A in your organization, you have to take it.

That can’t be true considering that’s about the time the bad players might be playing there. Besides, Castillo was in A ball and was 22 when they took him.
