David Eckstein A Met at $9 Million Per Year???

I was reading Matt at Metsblog's post on Luis Castillo's slow start to the season and I have to wonder if Louie has been set-up for failure. I posted about a week before the season that I thought it was a mistake to hit Murphy 2nd and Louie 8th. Murphy is doing well in the...
