News: Luis Castillo has Knee Surgery

by Matthew Cerrone on October 25th, 2007 at 9:01 am

In the Daily News, Adam Rubin writes that free-agent 2B Luis Castillo underwent knee surgery and will be 100 percent by spring training.

Rubin adds: “The Mets are expected to make a strong push to re-sign him.”

…well, lord knows he needed to have his knee cleaned out…his ability to run hard, slide, get up, look to be in total, unbearable pain, then seconds later sprint to third as though nothing was wrong, which was followed by more wincing and hobbling around, only to dash home without missing a beat was amazing to me…he’s a perfect solution for second base, in that he plays great defense, he works well with Jose Reyes and can bat second…i just worry about those knees

Rubin also reports on Paul Lo Duca, and whether the Mets intend to re-sign him; Duaner Sanchez, who will pitch in Winter Ball; as well as Tim Tuefel, who may get a minor-league promotion.
