And to think that all the "prognosticators" thought that the Mets "failed" to "answer" the Texeira deal. Funny thing is, whereever Castillo goes, they win. Maybe I'm wrong, but Marky boy's never been on a winning team, has he? Great pickup. And to think that all the “prognosticators” thought that the Mets “failed” to “answer” the Texeira deal.

We will need to repair a slight strain on his miniscus, its only acutely invasive and after the surgery and rehab he will be 100% healthy. Yes he would.

Or, is this some kind of chronic knee injury (ala Curtis Martin) that just won't go away? Would Castillo have to have some kind of off season surgery so he’s healthy next season?

If we were willing to give Valentin a contract, Castillo is 10 times better. Also, don't forget that Santana was pissed that Castillo was traded...I'm hoping he wants to play with him again. I know the money has to be right, but I'm saying...it'd be nice. I would love to bring Castillo back, for like 2-3 years. If we were willing to give Valentin a contract, Castillo is 10 times better.

I think there is a better chance the Gotay improves defensively than A-Hern improves offensively. NO!

I might be mistaken, but was it Castillo that made a comment about 'not wanting to play in a city that boos their own players.' Regardless, I think a 2-3 year deal could be in order. Willie likes solid vets with good gloves at 2nd, he's tailor made to bat behind Reyes, and seems to be a good influence. I wanted him signed after ’05.

It's a shame, because he's great in the field and on the basepaths. If he was a decent contact hitter/obp guy, he'd be a young, uninjured Castillo.
