He just doesn't bring enough pop to justify the contract he is seeking (for the Met's needs anyway) I just have a hard time believing that the Mets are going to hand out that kind of contract to a guy like Figgins without dealing with LF, and the Rotation first,.....at which point there probably isn't payroll room left for a "Figgins type contract " Not to mention thefact that the Mets are probably gonna have to pay 2 or 3 miilion of Castillo's contract if they move him. That's alot of dough for the second base position with so many other needs. I agree, and that’s part of the reason he wouldn’t be a good fit for the Mets either!

They may very well find that declining that option was a mistake!

You already have your lineup set form 1-5. He's not a good option at the bottom of the lineup. It would be like the mets hitting castillo 7th or 8th. He's a 1 or 2 hitter. and the phillies have those 2 spots filled up. I thought figgins was a terrible fit on that team. You already have your lineup set form 1-5.

B) What do any of the other 3 listed give you that Feliz doesn't? Seems like making change at third for the sake of change? I mean any of those guys aren't gonna be much less money than the option the Phils just declined on Feliz. I gotta believe they'll stil be in on Figgins and frankly they can have him and his price tag with all the options out there for considerably less for guys who are actually 2nd basemen naturally.
