I remember when the mets were rebuilding and then they decided they were kind of in the playoff hunt… so they traded Kazmir for Victor Zambrano.

In all honesty, what exactly do the Mets expect from Castillo?

They knew they were getting a league average(ish) hitter who plays somewhat bad to awful defense. He still gets on base at an above average clip, he still hits for absolutely no power, he’s still a fairly effective base stealer and he’s still bad at defense.

In short, as Dennis Green would say, HE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS!!!

Keep in mind this is the guy that built the team and the system that Beane keeps getting credit for. Imagine what he can do with a large-market payroll. Will the Mets owners allow him to do the best job, or will they meddle?

This guy isn't nearly as interesting as Minaya. Competence is boring.

Wow…the old hard-nosed “You’d better not suck” ultimatum.
