The Joliet JackHammers have signed former White Sox RHP Carlos Castillo to a 2008 contract.

Jackhammers = Sox of ~1999

[Cangelosi CF]

is now Comiskey Park Southwest.

I find this really funny because their GM is a huge Cubs fan.

[scarsofthumper]

Jackhammers/Flyers is like the Cubs/Sox of the Northern League except nobody really cares. LOL

Joliet is like the SW Sox and the Flyers are the lovable losers who play in a stadium modeled after Wrigley Field.

Someone should open a pastry shop across from the ballpark. Carlos as a client (alone) would be profitable.

[SoxNation05]

That fat dude right?

[Britt Burns]

Could David Wells be next?

[SoxfaninLA]

They need to get Rich Garces down there too

[MeteorsSox4367]

Castillo was the mope who made the comment about not booing the fans when they were working in the fast-food industry.

Perhaps when he's in Joliet, he can fill out an application at McDonald's.

From the majors to the Northern League - enjoy the humility.

[SOXPHILE]

Didn't someone on The Score give him the nickname "Lumpy" when he was on the Sox ?

I remember when he came in to relieve in a game and Nancy played 'Cheesburger in Paradise'

Classic.

Paul Konerko and Carlos Castillo once had a foot race. Konerko won.

[TornLabrum]

I saw Fat Carlos pitch last night. 5 R and 12 H in less than 7 IP.

Carlos is now approaching Alex Fernandez in Florida weight.

As for Slappy...he still slaps the ball.

I will be out there next week I believe. I hope Carlos pitches adn Caurso plays. Maybe by then they will sign Navarro too.

I like living in the past.

[scarsofthumper]

I didn't see Castillo when I went last Tuesday in Schaumburg, but I did see Caruso play and he looked great

The race is probably still going.

[PaleHoser]

My wife liked Carlos because he was the only pitcher she ever saw who had hips bigger than hers.

Bad news all.....

Carlos Castillo was released from the Joliet Jackhammers....

He was 0-1 with 7.48 ERA in 5 games with 27.2 innings pitches and OBA of .392

[scarsofthumper]

Caruso was also released.

[Parrothead]

Caruso was also released.

Oh man I missed that one. Sorry to see the little guy go....

A .270 average is not bad...

[scarsofthumper]

Joliet has been cleaning house since they're under .500 now.

[Dan the Man]

They need Jose Paniagua to light a fire under them.

Bill Simas would shore up that leaky bullpen.

That would be great ! I could get him to sign his Sunday black jersey from the 99 season that I bought for $50

I remember seeing Carlos hit a few bombs in BP. Had a nice, powerful swing. Dude could rake.
