Quote: I Like This Castillo Deal

In Newsday, Mark Herrmann quotes from Bobby Cox as praising the Mets and their continued success in the National League East.

i know the Mets are good…i don’t need cox to point it out to me…enjoy third place, buddy

Cox, on Luis Castillo, as quoted by Newsday…

“I like this Castillo deal. I thought that was major. I bet you he’s a lifetime .300 hitter, and he knows how to play the game. That was a major pickup. He never makes an error and he’s on base all the time.”

…as i wrote last night, it’s bizarre how much castillo appears to be in pain when he isn’t actually running…i watched him while he stood out on second base last night, and he appeared to be in tons of pain…he was limping, pulling up on his legs, wincing, etc, it was awkward and alarming, yet seemd to be of zero concern to any one in the Mets dugout…then he bolted for third on a ground ball like he is totally fine…it’s strange to watch
