Buzz: Mets Eyeing Castro-Torrealba Tandem

by D.J. Short on November 14th, 2007 at 3:09 pm

In a recent column for FoxSports.com, Ken Rosenthal writes that the Mets are looking at a Ramon Castro-Yorvit Torrealba tandem, with Castro getting the majority of the starts.

As Rosenthal points out, Castro has never started more than 57 games in a season.

Additionally, Castro has been on the disabled list in each of his three seasons with the Mets.

…this proposed arrangement is in line with cerrone’s thinking from a post earlier today…it’s funny, down the stretch of the season, i heard an outcry from fans demanding more playing time for castro…sure, it was partially due to lo duca’s health, but it was also due to castro’s offensive production…

…now that it looks like castro might be the guy, i hear fans clamoring for lo duca again…what can you say…maybe i’m in the minority in this case, but i’m happy to see this team looking at a player who is under 30 years old…that said, who will fill lo duca’s shoes with the media, i have no idea…
