To Market, To Market
I can’t remember the last decent deadline trade the Mets have conducted. I don’t know if it’s my age catching up to me or just maybe I’ve blocked it out due to my post-traumatic Mets disorder (PTMD).
The last deadline deal for the Mets, actually the last two…well, let’s just say we are still intimiately involved with liver Perez and Luis Castillo...

All Florida Marlins Team – 2nd Base
The second baseman on the All Florida Marlins team is Luis Castillo. As was the reaction to the First Base selection of Derrek Lee, this too is expected to be a heated debate and rightfully so. Despite having All-Star seasons and still holding franchise records, Castillo is forgotten by some fans because of the statistics [...]

Phillies’ Aging Core Will See Escalating Injuries to Team
Remember the New York Mets great 2007 collapse, when they lead the National League East for most of the season, only to have the Philles over take them in the last weekend of the season?

Well, on the year before, the Mets were 97-65 and won the National League East.

Luis Castillo off the hook for broken bat that injured Mets fan
It hasn't been the best of years for Luis Castillo. First he was cast aside by the New York Mets in spring training, then the Philadelphia Phillies said thanks, but no thanks after kicking his tires.
But, hey, here's finally some good news in 2011 for the erstwhile second baseman: The lawsuit of a New Jersey man who was hit by Castillo's broken bat and had his jaw broken has been...

This Weekend’s Series & Shared Players
Since this is a baseball site, and we are in the midst of baseball season, a crazy idea occurred to me. Why don’t we publish who’s playing?
So, with that in mind, here are the match-ups for this weekend. As a bonus, I included a common player from each franchise. Not the best, or most notable, just the first one I could think of off the top of my head:

The Daily Dirt for April 7th
It can be tough trying to find stolen bases in AL or NL only fantasy baseball leagues if you don’t find them in the draft or in the auction. One guy that might be out there on the waiver wire in AL only leagues is Sam Fuld of the Tampa Bay Rays who swiped three bases today giving him four for the season. He is going to get a ton of playing time as the extra outfielder, but...

Philadelphia Phillies: Recapping the New York Mets Series
I’ll just ignore the 11-0 shellacking today. Halladay pitched extremely well.
I have to show the Mets some love, though.
They’ve been in the doldrums the past couple of years and, who knows, they may end up being in the doldrums once again when the season concludes.
But, for the first time in a while, the Mets played with passion.
Let’s look at game two of...

Sorry, Brian Cashman, Mets Don't Always Do the Wrong Thing
Nobody knows better than Met fans that the team has been guilty of a string of ridiculous moves in recent years. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day. And sometimes, especially now that there's a new regime, when a Pedro Feliciano is not re-signed or a Luis Castillo is cut, there's a good reason.As Squawker Lisa wrote yesterday, Cashman apparently failed to grasp...

Injuries Abound For Dodgers On Opening Day
Casey Blake: He's out with a sore back, he's getting old, and this could go on all season long. I would expect him back in the next week or two at the most. But if he is already sore and crying about his aching back, I think a move to the bench makes sense. I keep saying it but this makes too much sense, probably means it won't happen. Ned and Donnie are going to drive...

Mets fans, the time has finally come. Throw away your 2010 season program. Tear up your copy of the Wilpon/Madoff complaint.

The Phillies Cut Luis Castillo; What They Didn't Say, Though
When the Phillies grew all concerned about Chase Utley's season, they inked the recently released Castillo to a minor-league deal. The fans thought that Utley's season (and future) might be in doubt. After all, Castillo is a seasoned second baseman. Apparently, the team might not have been confident starting journeyman Wilson Valdez at second (even though he filled in...
