Already considered the best defensive catcher in the Cubs' system, Castillo has recently jumped back into the prospect spotlight thanks to his developing bat. While he might be idling awhile as Geovany Soto seems locked into the full-time job in Wrigley, Castillo has enough raw talent to push his way onto the roster anyway, even if it's in a part-time role.
