Monday's Roster Move

INF/C Ramon Castillo promoted to AAA Reno.
INF Gerson Montilla joins team from extended spring training.

Analysis:  When a player jumps from South Bend to Reno, it's because they need someone to fill in for a few days (or a week, or two weeks).  Castillo was most likely selected because he can play multiple positions (first, third, catcher) and also serve as the bullpen catcher.  At the same time, he has an opportunity to showcase his skills for higher-ups in the organization.

Montilla played in double-A and high-A Visalia last season, but struggled in the advanced levels.  You can read the full press release here.
