Yeah there are so many REALISTIC solutions for second base.

Mark Loretta is Luis Castillo without speed and 2 strike skill.

He would be a huge downgrade.

If the Astros sign Castillo, wouldn’t that mean Mark Loretta is available?

I’ll take Loretta on a one-year deal to rake in the #2 spot.

Yeah it makes real sense to bash a guy who solidified the 2 hole, played a gold glove 2nd base, hit .300 and had to spark everything for our offense because Reyes was off in la-la land for 3 months.

I was skeptical about bringing Castillo here when the Mets made the trade, but he did an outstanding job for this team. He was one of the few bright spots down the stretch.

It would be a shame to lose him to the Astros. I’d rather the Mets keep him and solidify this team right now, and then focus on pitching as soon as they can than anything else they can do this winter.

tad iguchi is free agent from phillie. not re-signed because utley came back. iguchi has a little pop, more range than castillo, and is durable.

Are the Mets still talking about making a run at Arizona 2B Orlando Hudson via the trade front? He would be a perfect fit in the Mets infield

why would anyone want a gold glove second baseman who hit .300 last year , scored 90 runs and stole 19 bases.

makes no sense to me.!!!!!

not to mention they would have to trade for him and the Dodgers really dont need anyone giving them more good prospects, they have plenty as it is.

I Omar trades for a 2B it needs to be Orlando Hudson, otherwise suffice with a bunch of role players there this year.
