The first IFA signing for season 8 is none other than Del Castillo, C by the Boston Red Sox. While everyone else had their eyes on Rico Polonia, Boston sneaks in with a great pick up under everyones noses. Castillo is your run of the mill, high end, prototypical catcher with high pitch calling and fantastic defensive skills. Big drawback is his hitting skills, or lack thereof, even still he will hit around .200. He may not currently have the durability to catch a Rookie League season at the moment, he soon will and be a very nice backup/starter in due time. For the price of 100K, a very huge bargain.
