As far as Orioles fans are concerned, there’s always been a consistent question with Miguel Castro. And last Wednesday, it was time to ask it again.
That was the night Castro came on for the ninth inning with the Orioles ahead of Toronto 9-5 and, to put it simply, imploded. He gave up six runs, four coming on a grand slam, and left with the Orioles trailing 10-9.
So back came the question: Just what do the Orioles have in Castro? Do they have a late-game, high-leverage guy, or do they have another mediocre arm for another mediocre bullpen, and an ideal fit for mop-up duty and garbage innings?
