Luis Castillo made his mark with the Florida Marlins
2B Luis Castillo played 10 years with the Florida Marlins and he’s all over the franchise record books. He played in 1,128 games for the Marlins and he was 1,273 for 4,347 (.293 avg, .726 OPS) with 675 runs scored, 20 homers, 271 RBIs and 281 stolen bases. Castillo was at his best in 2000 for the Marlins. That year he played in 136 games in which he was 180 of 539 (.334 avg, .806 OPS) with 101 runs scored, 2 homers, 17 RBIs and 62 stolen bases. Castillo played in three All-Star Games for the Marlins and he won 3 Gold Gloves in his time with the team. Castillo is the all-time leader in games played for the Marlins with 1,128. He is also #1 in runs scored (675), #1 in hits (1,273), #9 in doubles (130), #1 in triples (42), #1 in walks (533) and he’s #1 in stolen bases (281) in Marlins’ history. Current shortstop Hanley Ramirez will likely bump Castillo from the top perch in a number of categories down the road but that won’t tarnish the success the little 2B had with the Marlins.
