Castro making 1.5 mil of whatever and being dead weight gets to stay just cause he is making a million or so more than Omir- thats the kind of stuff that makes no sense to me. As far as Manny, he would have paid for himself and then some between merchandise and postseason revenues, no question about it. You would think the Wilpon's, who own Sterling Equities- which specializes in investments- would have been able to figure that one out.

I am interested to see Santos in that situation before insisting he stay on the ML roster.

He has been a very good player for a decade, and when healthy, he still seems to be one.

But during last nights game you heard Gary say during the early 90's Toronto's lineup would be the same, at least the first 6 guys, every game. I like that!! Guys develop a chemistry,start to rely and believe in each other, they figure out their roles, they dont feel like they have to do it all in 1 at bat, etc I agree but I have to admit he is growing on me. maybe its the violent bat movement that gets me excited lol.
