I’m no big fan of Castillo but Amazin, to say “Infield hits and bloops, does not do anything for an offense” is to not understand the game. Number one and two hitters need to get on base, whether by bunt, bloop, walk – however. Not every player on a team needs to be a power guy. You get a guy who can move a guy over to third with ground ball to the right side, he’s helping the team. You get a guy who gets a bloop single with Reyes on second, he helps the team. They set the table for Wright, Beltran, Delgado – your big guns. A healthy and productive Castillo is certainly a help to any team. The question is whether he can be that again. I hope so, because it looks like he’s our 2nd baseman.

[...] Met getting a good review is Luis Castillo. Alex Fagen writes what a healthy Castillo would do for the Mets in 2009. I like the comparison for Carlos Beltran in 2005 and [...]

oh yeah one more thing I cant wait till he stinks by May and Alex Cora will be the starting second baseman, and this article and the mets front office will be really wrong, and it will be to late, way to not make improvements Omar

I am sorry, I know its the trendy thing to do to bash Luis Castillo, but not for me, what I saw in the dugout was enough to not want him to come back. Even if he is healthy and back to whatever made him good, he is still a player who could barely hit the ball out of the infield. Teams play him like a pitcher. Infield hits and bloops, does not do anything for an offense. If he comes up at the end of a game only needing a fly ball to get a tying or winning run home, you cant send him up there. Besides he was a player I noticed on a consistent basis not cheering for his team and looking like a mal content. yeah he couldnt play and maybe got benched im sure none of us would like it but if your still getting paid to play, then cheer your team on and not sit there with a puss on when the games counted at the end of the year. I dont want him, get him off the team. There is a reason we cant trade him besides money, nobody wants him, and if nobody wants him why should we? keeping someone no one on the team wants except for Johan, cause they are best buds, that no other team in baseball wants, makes no sense………
