So Omar Minaya saw three months of Luis Castillo last year and decided, “You know what? That’s the guy I want playing second base for the next four years.” Really? This actually happened? I mean, I guess he was kind of barely adequate. He batted .296 with a .371 on-base pe...

One of my favorite pastimes during the offseason is viciously scouring the transaction pages on the web to find out which guys have been left off the 40 man roster and thereby granted free agency.
