I have read that he wants something in the $14-15M range. I also read that he was looking towards the Mets and was willing to give the a discount. I believe that was from Jayson Stark. I would give O-dog a $10-11M over three to four years. O-dogs range is way better than Castillo's is a this point in their careers. I don't think Dunn's glove will play at Citi and Tex is going to the Yankees. I say go the Defense and Pitching route. With a healthy Church in right, We can get by with a platoon situation in LF if we have solid enough pitching. Niese is to valuable but I feel that Parnell should go. I feel it might be worth our while to wait for the 2010 off seawson with Holiday. I must admit that I am surprised that o-dog would seriously ask for such $17M.

I read a post on this blog at a different thread that Castillo's salary next year is higher than DWight's and Jose Reyes? If that's true (Too lazy to look it up) then it's a total joke. A Gimpy, Pre-Maturely over the hill "slap" hitter making more than two ALL-STARs? Unbelievable.................................... Speachless.

Then I'd rather have Castillo, at least we can eat the last few years of Castillo's contract. Hudson's defense isn't better, he's the same age, and his bat in my opinion would be an upgrade but not a difference maker in this line-up. I'd rather spend that money on pitching and going after a power bat like Dunn, or Tex depending on the contract demands, or trading for one. If they fill the holes in the rotation with free agents then they can afford to trade guys like Niese or Parnell for a big bat IMO.

When you factor in talent, contract demands, and age/injury risk IMO Perez is the best choice on the free agent market.
