Castillo would be ok except the primary role is hitting in pinch hit situations. Usually that's not a spot for a rookie.

Adding Javy Valentin back to this roster for the sole purpose of being a LH PH is the definition of a wasted roster spot.
J. Jones, Nix, W. Castillo, Dickerson. All guys that are a much better use of a roster spot than wasting it on Javy Valentin.
