This man acts as if the day he was hired to replace Willie Randolph he ascended off a deserted island as opposed to sitting next to Randolph the first 65 games.

Then let DFA'd gotay to go to a division rival.

Perhaps being an interim manager allows Manuel not to play favorites. There are no politics in his position and he doesn't have to give anyone consideration for the past. It is good that Church moves up in the lineup. It makes for a better order. Delgado looks like he can still mash some mistakes, but has no batting avg and can't really scare anyone.

Castillo needs to go. If Omar can trade him and just eat 1/2 the salary, do it. Although if he blows out the knee, he might end up having to retire. I would rather the Mets pay him (since they will be anyway) to sit on the beach somewhere than to play 2B. right now, I might be faster than Delgado (OK, for sure I am, and I am 45!), and just might have a higher average!

And the Astros had reportedly offered Castillo three years, prompting Omar to offer a fourth. If Omar didn't offer that fourth year, you'd be looking at _Kaz: The Sequel_.

Endy batting 2nd eh? #2 hitter with .300 OBP. Not so good. I thihk Castillo will play about 120-135 games, not 100-120.

Do you think he may consider another surgery after the season, or perhaps the Mets look to just eat his contract and release him after the season? 6 million a year for a 100-120 game player is a little ridiculous to me, especially for his production or lack there of!!
