YES! I just found out! We have finally rid ourselves of that most wasted roster spot on the bench. Juan Castro has been DFA'd and I am going to celebrate by having a Sam Adams in Wayne Krivsky's honor.
That Jerry Hairston Jr. was called up is not something to be worried about. Dude is hitting .400 something at AAA. If that doesn't carry over to the Major League level, so be it, but it does not hurt to try it out. One thing is for certain - he can't be any worse than Castro. While Hairston is not a long term solution, he is a good fit for the time being until we can get a righthanded power hitter for the bench or until Alex Gonzalez comes back.
I had been a bit down today. This news has put a smile on my face! Now if we could solve that Corey problem...
Good luck, Juan.
