MESA, Ariz. – One spot in the clubhouse at HoHoKam Stadium means everything to Chicago Cubs catcher Welington Castillo.

The 25-year-old is stationed in the outer-most locker among the catcher’s section of veterans and prospects. It’s the spot the Geovany Soto occupied for several years as the Cubs’ No. 1 catcher.

“It means a lot, but I am the kind of person that even though I have a job, I am not going to be comfortable,” Castillo said before Thursday’s 8-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox. “I am going to play hard until I get the best out of me.”
