Rest-of-Season Projections
Castilla announced his retirement from baseball Wednesday after Mexico's 4-3 win over Venezuela in the Carribean World Series, Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
This move doesn't come as much surprise from the 39-year-old, who was unable to play well enough for an everyday job last season. Castilla retires as Mexico's all-time leading home-run hitter in MLB, with 320 homers during his 16-year career.

A hot start at the plate evaporated quickly, and Castilla degenerated into an aging slugger who can't hit at sea level, as predicted. His defense got him another shot in San Diego, but if his knee continues to give him problems the end is a lot closer for Castilla than the Padres might care to admit.
