Red Sox: Rusney Castillo’s stellar spring doesn’t earn him a roster spot

These last few weeks have provided us with the best sample we’ve ever seen from Rusney Castillo since he signed with the Boston Red Sox, and it still wasn’t enough for him to break camp with a spot on the major league roster.

Castillo was among the half-dozen Red Sox players reassigned to minor league camp on Sunday, just over a week away from the start of the regular season. Without a roster spot open for him, will Castillo ever get the chance to return to Boston?

The Red Sox have held firm to the stance that opportunities for Castillo would depend on a combination of how well he was performing and the needs of the ball club.
