Phillies, Castro Agree to Terms

The Phillies reportedly agreed to a deal with utility infielder Juan Castro, pending a physical.  The deal is for one year with a club option for 2011.  The deal might not be officially announced until next week. 

Castro will fill Eric Bruntlett’s spot on the roster.  The 37-year old batted .277 in 112 at-bats with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.  Castro was given a minor league contract worth $700,000 in 2009.  If the deal is official, it is unlikely to exceed that price.
