Comings, Goings, and Injuries

Three quick notes.
  • Pareja confirmed today that Jaime Castrillon is on the trading block.  He was also apparently diagnosed with a significant injury int he post-season exam last fall.  He is at the Dick with the rest of the team in preseason but not participating in team drills.
  • Ruben Luna has left camp after getting an opportunity in another league.
  • MF/FW Carlos Diaz and FW Cesar Romero have joined camp.  Diaz bounced around Europe and Romer played with Chivas USA after they both were regulars in the U.S. youth teams.  No word if John Astin will be joining camp later this week.

Does the Castrillón things seem odd? I'm curious why given his high performance vs low salary ( IIRC @$70k last year ) the team doesn't keep him around and see how things play out after the injury.

What is the nature of Castrillón's "injury"? It seems a bit odd for the team to want to off load a guy who did pretty well last year and was pretty cheap by league standards ( IIRC @$70k ).

There have been no leaks or rumors about Castrillon's injury. There was a rumor that Millionaros (sp?) was inquiring about loaning or buying Castrillon from the Rapids as they just did with Seattle's Freddy Montero. They're beefing up their squad with fellow colombians for their Copa run.
