Juan Castro isn't coming

He has agreed to sign with Colorado, his agent told me earlier today. He'll still go to Triple-A Colorado Springs for a week or so to get back into the swing of game action (the Dodgers wanted him to do the same thing), but once he comes to the majors, he'll get more playing time with the Rockies than he would have with the Dodgers because of Troy Tulowitzki's injury. I'm disappointed he isn't coming, but I completely understand his reasoning. ... It is COLD here, and gray and gloomy and depressing -- but so far, it isn't snowing. There was some on the ground when I landed this morning, but none has fallen since my arrival. Several players from both teams are on the field doing pre-batting practice stuff, and almost all of them are wearing heavy pullovers and ski caps -- except, that is, for Dodgers bullpen catcher Mike Borzello, who is in a T-shirt and shorts. In fairness to him, though, he just finishe drunning. Now he's taking throws from Derek Lowe, who is playing extreme long toss, catching fungoes hit by Rob Flippo from the leftfield line almost to the rightfield wall and throwing them all the way back to Borzello, who is standing next to Flippo. Not sure why.
