Awesome. This investment is going to be well worth it in three more years. Wait nevermind, I guarantee he is a bench player after this season. I just don’t understand the logic of Omar overpaying for Castillo the way he did, especially when it really didn’t seem like anyone besides the Astros were interested in him.

In other news the sun is expected to rise tomorrow.

Get well soon. Don’t rush back this time.

anybody else here willing to trade this colorado announcer wayne hagin for a bag of balls yet? he makes jon miller sound exciting

I hope that Omar bought the extended warranty when he got Castillo. He is going to really need it.

Assuming Castillo goes out for a period of time (at least a 15 day DL), what is the back up plan? Easley every day? Or do they call up one of the young guys from the minors (or do they have a veteran 2B down there?) to play for him?

It never seems that the Mets have a prospect ready for a try at the right positions (any positions?) when a starter goes down.

I’d love to see Marlon Anderson play 2B every day if Castillo is out (well, frankly, even if Castillo is healthy).

play Easley at 2nd

bat Easley 2nd

Castillo should be suffering

left-out syndrome, not left-quad syndrome

very bad signing - cut your losses, Omar

i have discomfort every time I realize we signed this slap-happy corpse to a quad-year contract

When talking about the lack of position player depth in the farm you people fail to realize over the last 4 years it has yielded david wright and jose reyes

Agree Dan, what a pathetic bunch of comments on Castillo. Its unfortunate but 25% of the Met fan base this years is a bunch of low lifes who are happy when one of our players get hurt. Don’t hate Castillo. Hate the contract Omar gave him.

Recall earlier in the year when people were posting how bad our record was when Castillo was batting 2nd. Well this week 3-0 this week with Luis batting 2nd and 0-3 when he was not!

yeah, I wish the negative fans would just stay away from shea and the comments section.

does anyone know if Matt Wise can play 2B?

At times I believe that they are booing Randolph not the player. Still not cool but better for me to accept

Castillo is a good #2 . …the Reds announcers love they guy….bottom line if hes out .. platton Marlon/ and Damon to the Pitching match ups (R/L) and put Church 2nd again

Reyes
Church
Wright
Beltran
Alou
Delgado
Easley/Anderson
Schneider

It’s amazing that people are still talking about this “booing problem” as Shea, considering the team is now 11-6 at home and seems to enjoy scoring plenty of runs now. It’s too bad that the whole thing was blown out of proportion from the beginning, to the point that people actually believed it was hurting the team at home.

If you only knew just how little booing has actually gone on there this year… Heilman and Delgado being the exception. And most of us have not booed even one player. Most of us have now once again stood by our team through the worst of times, and continue to support them unconditionally, and yet people still want to believe everything they hear from Mike and the Mad Dog, etc. It’s not your fault, but many of you have been misinformed.
