| Biography: |
| Acquired by the D'Backs right at the beginning of the '06 spring training from the Angels in return for reliever Jason Bulger, Callaspo immediately moves toward the top of the second baseman in the system. A slick fielder with an incredible batting eye and an amazing ability to make contact (he struck out once every 22.65 at bats in a 2005 season split between Double and Triple-A, which was good enough to lead all of minor league baseball) he can play both middle infield spots and was, many believe, the real reason the Diamondbacks were comfortable moving Alex Cintron. Will step into the starting second baseman's role if anything happens to Orlando Hudson. |
