Servet figures to be a major part of the Montgomery offense, as he batted .267 in S8 with 31 HR and 86 RBI. He'll more than likely be replaced in the Montgomery lineup by Jose Bocachica.

CASTILLA

Castilla will receive a 17.5M bonus, and he will report to Low A. Castilla has above average speed with solid power, and can hit off both lefties and righties equally well. His above average defense is also a plus.
