The last arbitration-eligible Pittsburgh Pirate, second baseman Jose Castillo, agreed Wednesday to a $1.9 million, one-year contract with plate appearance incentives.
Castillo hit .253 with 14 home runs and 65 RBI in 2006, struggling though the last month of the season when he went 8-for-73 (.110) with two RBI and two extra-base hits after Sept. 1st.
Because of that slump, he will be battling Jose Bautista for a starting infielder's job during spring training. The backup third baseman hit .235 with 16 homers and 54 RBI in 117 games with the Bucs last season.
