He hit 300 and played all 3 OF positions. He has a good arm and great instincts. You never have to worry about him in the field. This means outs which means runs. Pagan did well early, let us see if he can continue, but there is no comparison between the two in the field. As for my fantasy team of the mets i have church, jose ,Xman and Maine. I dropped Pedro and may pick him up again. Endy was not a one hit wonder in 06. He hit 300 and played all 3 OF positions. He has a good arm and great instincts.

Sure he made the catch, but you gotta know when to cut the cord. Not to many teams keep 3 catchers, because most teams don't have Ramon Castro wasting away on the bench. I'd say Castro could start for at least 2/3 of the teams in baseball. Its annoying when you have a key spot late in the game and you can't use Castro due to injury risks to Schneider. Like I said before, dropping Pagan or Endy would be the right move, and one of them may very well get dropped when they activate Wise. I just don’t think Endy is the same player he was in 2006.

Now, you kids are probably saying to yourself, "Now, I'm gonna go out, and I'm gonna get the world by the tail, and wrap it around and put it in my pocket!!" Well, I'm here to tell you that you're probably gonna find out, as you go out there, that you're not gonna amount to Jack Squat!!" You're gonna end up eating a steady diet of government cheese, and living in a van down by the river! Now, Kieth, what do you want to do with your life?

But in the NL most teams need the flexibility of having options to PH for the pitcher and in the case of our youth/health-challenged roster, defensive replacements and subs for the few days a week that our 2B, LF, CF, 1B need days off. I don't know much about the 3 C's on the Reds -- other than Valentin is the Stache's brother-- but my guess is that one or more of them is capable of playing either 1b, or OF. which is not the case with Castro or Casanova.

No one does that. As for Endy and Pagan, I think its ridiculous for people to assume Pagan can do that same things as Endy. Sure, Pagan made that play the other day, but his defense leaves A LOT to be desired. He might have the worst throwing arm i've seen in a very long time. You keep Endy around because of his D, because you have Alou on your team. Name me a team in this league that has 3 catchers on their team, 3 players that are exclusively catchers. No one does that.

It all depends on Jose Reyes. If Reyes is getting on base and being aggressive, does it really matter if it is Church or Castillo? I liked the switch earlier because Castillo wasn't playing that well while Church was hot.-JD I will tell you the real secret about the success of the No. 2 hitter. It all depends on Jose Reyes.
