Wow... just about 15 mins ago I wondered out loud if today would be the day Castro was released. I need to do that more often.

Don't tell Pedro, his head is big enough already.

Re: It's actually happened - Juan Castro DFA
I'm still in denial about this.. I'm sure Wayne shed a lot of tears over this one.
 Better a couple years late than never.

Re: It's actually happened - Juan Castro DFA
Amazing. I thought it was obvious from the beginning, re: his worth.
Question: How much money are we on the hook for and was this year the end of his contract?

Re: It's actually happened - Juan Castro DFA
Hopefully we can retain Castro as an instructor -- I can't imagine he's going to catch on anywhere.
