Every year a high school guy signs for big money instead of going to college and a few years later he is released. Granted some guys just do not pan out and others due. RHP Kyle Castro, was released this week:
A 6-foot-5 prep righthander from Elk Grove, Calif., Kyle Castro signed with the Rangers as a third-round pick in 2011, but injuries and ineffectiveness derailed his career and led to his release this week. He spent the entire 2012 and 2014 seasons on the disabled list, and he didn't pitch all that effectively when healthy, logging a 7.53 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 43 career innings, all in short-season ball.
