Rusney Castillo makes a nice grab on a sharp line drive off the bat of Paul Janish for the first out of the top of the 6th inningFORT MYERS, Fla. -- In different ways, they were both prominent in the not-too-distant past.
On Saturday morning, they went about their Spring Training work together in relative anonymity on Field 5 with the other non-roster position players at Red Sox camp.
Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo was highly regarded enough by Boston to be signed to a seven-year, $72.5 million contract in August 2014. A month before that, the Red Sox traded for Allen Craig, a hitter they thought highly enough of to part with John Lackey as compensation.
