You must be one heck of a GM in MVP Baseball.

None of that is going to happen. Halladay isn’t going anywhere. Vidro sucks. Ibanez is ok.

Send down Nick Evans, Robbie Cancel,
Call up Kunz to replace Heilman

Rotation: Johan, Halladay, Maine, Ollie, Pelfrey,
bullpen: Wags, Sanchez, Feliciano, Show, Smith, Kunz,

I thought Church HAD been doing light conditioning. So he has just been chilling at home and watching from the dugout when the Mets are at Shea?

Anyone know anything about what type of stuff Knight has? The guy is 33 years old and he struck out 12 in 6 innings in his last start.

Even if it’s just “The Nelson (Figueroa) II” it will be good for a couple of starts.

Jose Reyes best month was May. Castillo was still with the team and playing that month. Reyes had a good month in June too – Castillo was still with the team. July is a little better than June, but worse than May.

There is no correlation between Reyes’ performance and Castillo being on the DL. It’s all in your mind.

Who said chemistry doesn’t mean anything….Castillo will not be on this team anytime soon. Look at what the Twins are doing to hold Franaisco Liriano down in the minors. The guy is 9-2 with a 3 ERA, and he STILL is not called up! Just trying to keep his serice time down and Liriano filed a grievance through the union. So, holding McSlappy down should not be any big deal here.

I really hope Church can come back 100%…that would be the best case and really cure our OF woes. Of course, Minaya can’t assume that, so we should be another body in the mix shortly.

great news for church, it’s about time we get some good new on a player that is suffering a serious injury. Wags injury wasn’t really serious, but getting church back is maybe the biggest thing this team needs, besides acquiring another corner outfielder.

If Church can come back producing like he was, and Delgado can stay hot and Omar picks up an OF bat then this team can make a real run at something

I agree, both Delgado and Reyes are playing well since Castillo is gone…..less late nights and game day jaking going on…anybody ever read Ball Four? Jaking is the term they gave to slacking off…..

Argenis Reyes is a sparkplug who will be a pain in the butt to the opposition.

Castillo can take Luis Aguayo’s spot along the lines a third…
