There is absolutely no justification for Luis Castillo to continue starting at second base. Castillo is clearly hobbled by his knees which are either shot or never fully recovered. His range is limited and he's an offensive liability. Castillo put in another 0-4 night which lowered...

Luis Castillo appears to be the Mets 2B to start spring training, how long he maintains that position all depends on how sincere his re-commitment is and who's behind him. The positive is that Castillo has a history, he was once a gold glove caliber 2B and a premier tablesettter...

Don't get me wrong, the Mets won and I'm very happy that they won, but that still doesn't hide the fact that there are some very glaring problems with this team.If it wasn't for the brilliant pitching of Johan Santana, this team may not have won this game. We're...

This offseason, Omar Minaya has fixed the bullpen. He hasn't done much else; I would have signed Oliver Perez before Tim Redding. It's such a shame they're not even considering Perez. I would give him a multi-year deal over Derek Lowe any day of the week. With the departures...

I wonder how Nelson Figeruoa feels right now as he looks down the line-up card. Figgy knew his call-up wasn't permanent but I'm sure he was hoping to stick around as the long man until Redding returned or audition for another team.The odds are certainly stacked against him...
