Jamie Walker Released, Alberto Castillo Called Up...
Lefty reliever Jamie Walker will be released from the Baltimore Orioles at some point today. In turn, Alberto Castillo will be called up from Triple-A Norfolk. Obviously, this is not a surprise as most saw this coming.
Much like I said a few days ago, I have had the chance the chat with Walker on a few opportunities -- he's a great guy, and one who cares about the military as well taking responsibility for his job.
It's too bad that he was not given a chance to work through his problems in a lesser role, but the business of baseball can be very cruel and the sport is simply a results-driven league.
Godspeed, Jamie.
