Note: Castillo and Santana, Together Again
By Matthew Cerrone - Feb 15, 2008 9:48 am

RHP Orlando Hernandez and 2B Luis Castillo both arrived to camp this morning.

according to a text message from SNY’s Kevin Burkhardt, castillo and Johan Santana are already hanging out by their lockers, which has to be great for those two, who are very close friends…a) it gives santana a friendly face in a new camp, and b) probably makes castillo more comfortable, who was the new guy last fall

Position players are not required to be in camp until next week.

…by the way, i wonder how many bags of ice castillo and el duque will use through the course of a single season…i’m thinking it could be the equiviliant of the North Pole in a plastic bag

    So Burkhardt is sending you text messages now, Matt? Looks like you’re moving up in the world…

    Throw Alou into the mix and you’ll need the South Pole as well.

  3. The mets should just buy out the company that produces quartacone shots

    Damn, we could have used all those left over ice bags that FEMA had to melt. Way to go FEMA. I like the way the team is looking. We got pitching, defense, speed and some nice hitting.

    Also, I know it doesn’t mean anything, but it’s pretty cool to have four of our players in top 25 of fantasy baseball rankings.

      Yep; I’m almost afraid to say this “out loud”, but this spring really has a good feel to it.

        It’s hard for me to contain my excitement for the upcoming year. I’d wax poetic about perceived flaws and weaknesses and strengths, but it’s been well covered. I just want to see everyone on the field in meaningful games again.

        I’m putting the over/under on my Opening Day beers at 6.

    global warming isnt melting the ice in the north pole, its luis castillo and el duque. someone pass the message on to al gore.

  6. I wonder if Vladamir Putin is going to plant a russian flag in Castillos ass

  7. Its gonna be a venezuelan media circus, what with Johan and Endy Chavez returning.
    Omar eventually will have to take a play out of hugos book and just take away freedoms from the venezuelan media

    Is it me but are more regular position players showing up earlier than normal to camp this year?
    This can only be a good thing as the excitement in camp seems to be evident.
    I think that the Mets may play with extra focus this year which can only be good.

    it’s gonna be lke the Simpsons episode with Burns’ bear BoBo…with the guys trekking to the north pole for bags of ice at the Kwik-E-Mart
    “you’ve gotta start selling these for more than a $1 a bag…we lost 3 more men on this expedition!!!”
