Rusney Castillo Has Best Chance to Blossom into Red Sox Star in 2016

About a year-and-a-half has passed since the Boston Red Sox gave Rusney Castillo a seven-year, $72.5 million contract, and he's still a riddle with mystery and enigma coverings.

But maybe not for much longer. Castillo has star potential in him somewhere, and he's finally in a position to let it out in 2016.

The Red Sox are looking pretty good heading into the new season. After adding David Price, Craig Kimbrel and others to a core group that played pretty well down the stretch in 2015, we're thinking the Red Sox will party like it's 2013 and go from worst to first once again.
