That said, Santos blocks pitches much better andhas shown himself to be a very clutch hitter. OMIR STAYS!!! I could be wrong, but I believe that Castro’s CS percentage is higher than Santos’…

If Santos keeps playing the way he has, he will be given the starting job next year anyway.

But Santos brings a different type of "edge" to the team that is needed. I just hope that we don't eat to much of Castro's salary.

I know there is a business aspect to think about, but there is too much riding on this season. The Mets need to field the best team possible and I would argue that Santos is the best of the three catchers right now. 2) I'm not a huge fan of either Schneider or Castro. I know defense is important, but so is offense and Schneider's defense has not be so spectacular as to make up for his non-existent offense. Castro's bat is better, but his inability to stay healthy down the stretch and lapses in concentration on defense make him the expendable one. 3) SI's Jon Heyman is reporting that the Mets are talking to the White Sox about catching. Maybe Castro is being traded for Jermaine Dye - kidding. :) A few thoughts:

Has he been sulking with his reduced playing time? I thought he was popular, he of the bubble gum hat trick.

Have 6 bench players & 11 pitchers. Schneider just might fizzle. Castro & Santos platooning seems to be working. They feed off each other. Statistically not much of a difference. To quick to judge. Nothing says the Mets need to make a decision on this right now! I say go with three catchers. Have 6 bench players & 11 pitchers. Schneider just might fizzle.

Atleast Omir madethe Mets see the light on Castro, although I suspect that if this move were posibble sooner it would have been made. Hopefully some team has a need at Catcher and would be willing to split this pay as I doubt any team is going to swallow his contract at this point. They should have moved Castro a long time ago!
