Luis Castillo threw a complete game 2-hit, 1-run game this weekend in a win over the St. Louis Cardinals. During the game, and even after the game I saw plenty of posts on twitter about how Castillo was back, or how long it’s been since “we’ve seen this version of Castillo” – and of course when a player has a big game you’re going to see those kinds of reactions. But it also got my brain wondering: Is he back? Is he different? What’s going on here?
Luis Castillo was acquired prior to the 2017 season from the Miami Marlins in the Dan Straily deal.
