he has a great baseball mind and the Aviators got 'em a good one. but i hope he's ready for an early retirement because with the new Corpus Christi Hooks, i can see the Coastal Bend Aviators folding soon.
CORPUS CHRISTI - Steve Castillo is moving up the coaching ranks. He's leaving Moody, and heading to the Aviators. The team Thursday announced Castillo will join the staff, beginning with the opening of spring training on April 25th.
Castillo will be the bench coach. After spending 29 years in high school, he says he's anxious to learn more about the game with skipper Murray Wilson. Castillo likes Wilson's style of play. He doesn't think he'll have to coach any differently with the Aviators.
"No, I've always been a guy, you know, these guys have been drafted before, so they know how to play the game. Sometimes it's just a little tweak here, a little tweak there, or a little timing device, timing thing when it comes to hitting, and maybe I can help them out in that aspect or the mental part of the game," Castillo said.
Castillo will be there for spring training, and the entire season, at home and on the road. He looks at this as a start as he embarks on a new career in pro ball.
