Vinny Castilla

Not a lot of talk of him. I just picked him up because Glaus (another team) got hurt and figured it'd be a good piece of trade bait. But his RBI numbers are really tempting. I looked at his splits and have been thinking about platooning him at util (have Chavez for 3rd) for weeks when he's playing at Coors. What are some opinions about him?

That's the right way to play him. He isn't completely useless on the road or anything but you must have better options on your bench for when he is playing on the road.

Right now I have a bunch of underperforming stars on my bench, Huff, C. Lee, and Chipper. Adding Castilla is stretching my position players. I desperately want to do a 2 for 1 trade with those 4 to give me some flexibility, but no one's biting so far.
