Buzz: Eckstein Mets Primary 2B Target
According to Marty Noble at MLB.com, free agent David Eckstein - not Luis Castillo - appears to be the Mets primary target for second base.
…cerrone posted similar information earlier today about the pursuit of eckstein and it’s becoming more and more clear that he is the team’s first choice at second base…
Noble also mentions that D’Backs 2B Orlando Hudson is an option, but he who would require a trade and the Mets clearly prefer to save their chips 
for pitching.
…cerrone and i have differing opinions on eckstein - as he’d likely be my last choice out of the available options..…his ‘hustle’ just doesn’t equal his production and the stats support that…
…that being said, since the Mets lived with castillo for a few months this past season, and do not see him as a top priority, it makes me wonder about his health - or if they soured on him - since it appears eckstein and castillo are both looking for similar four-year, $30 million deals…
