... was asked to do. He effectively handled all three outfield positions, finished 4th in MLB with 15 pinch-hits, and performed admirably — save for one bad throw — when pressed into service at first base.

Phillies and Castro agree to deal

... in those games. He also went 6-for-18 as a sub, including 3-for-5 with one strikeout as a pinch hitter. But Castro's ability to play short stop is his biggest attribute. For an idea of how slim the pickings are in that department, consider Omar Vizquel, another veteran short stop who was a free agent. Over his last two seasons, Vizquel's numbers aren't a whole lot different than Castro's....
