Minor league pitcher Julio Castillo stands trial for throwing ball in stands during brawl - ESPN

Great he is on the Boise Hawks roster, if he ever plays a game for them, I will never go to a Hawks game again. Low quality single A is bad enough without dumbasses like him.

Life is painful when you don't pay attention.

Do I think this guy made a mistake? Yes, do I think he is a dumb ass for doing it? Yes, do I think he should pay by spending 16 years in prison? No.

**Cross Traffic** · July 22nd, 2009, 08:07 PM

No he shouldn't get 16 years, I would say 3 months should be sufficient. Wouldn't a conviction pretty much get your visa canceled and deported back to the Dominican Republic? Don't like how his lawyer is going to the "he doesn't speak English" card.

English or not means nothing when it comes to intentionally propelling an object through the air at a a high rate of speed.

Dude would never make it anyway if he can't hit his target.

and this.

I think even 3 months is excessive. I would imagine that he'll wind up with probation and a fine, maybe some anger management classes and be on his way. Hopefully also on his way out of the Cubs system!

This to me is the saddest part:

I think the Cubs need to be doing a better job with a young guy like Castillo, who, five years in their employ, still can neither read nor write in Spanish or English. Big league teams often get young talent cheaply out of the Caribbean. These kids quit school to chase a dream, but I think there’s a responsibility to equip them for life.
