Mariners notebook: Castillo to start Thursday

BALTIMORE, MD--Welington Castillo was getting a crash course on the Mariners Wednesday afternoon in the visiting clubhouse at Camden Yards. Before he even had a chance to put on his new jersey there was a new manager to meet, coaches to learn the signs from and teammates to say hello to. One teammate he needed to find quickly was J.A. Happ.

"He's catching him tomorrow," said Lloyd McClendon.

It is right into the fire for the new guy. That is fine for Castillo who is excited to get going.

"I'm going to talk to him to be on the same page, watch video, I want to see what he likes to do and what the other guys see from him and what they know.
