Luis Castillo Likes Leather Mitts, Not Rubber Gloves

Luis CastilloLuis Castillo had a rough day during fielding practice on Sunday, but manager Ron Gardenhire thinks his mind may have been a bit ... well, preoccupied. From the Star-Tribune:
Almost every throw Castillo made took a bounce. Manager Ron Gardenhire demands precision during these workouts, so Castillo's antics had to annoy Gardy.

But on this day, Gardenhire cut him some slack. Castillo learned it was his turn for a physical and wasn't thrilled to learn it meant a rubber-gloved rectal exam.

"I think Luis will be fine, but he had a rough day today," Gardenhire said. "Not normally what we like to see. He was scared to death he was going to get the finger [exam from the doctor], and I think it totally flabbergasted him."
I don't know what's worse: the dread knowing a prostate exam is coming or being utterly and completely caught off-guard when it happens. In any case, I hereby promise that this will be the first and last time we quote Ron Gardenhire talking about a player's rectum here at the MLB FanHouse.
