Manuel, Mets exercise ‘the demons’
In Jerry Manuel's brief two-month tenure as Mets manager, he lost his closer (Billy Wagner), two starters (John Maine), second baseman (Luis Castillo) and a pinch hitter/utility man (Marlon Anderson). He also adopted a (un)healthy list of injured troops including Ryan Church, Pedro Martinez, ...

 Luis Castillo up in place of John Maine; Mets have three second basemen?
Luis Castillo up in place of John Maine; Mets have three second basemen?
Well this makes no sense. With John Maine on the DL, it made it much easier for the Mets to bring Luis Castillo back from his extended stay on the disabled list. This leaves the Mets with Castillo and Argenis Reyes , who can pretty much only play second base, and Damion Easley , who can play first, second and left. Too bad Daniel Murphy and Nick Evans are seemingly entrenched in left, and ...

 Luis Castillo will not return tonight
Luis Castillo will not return tonight
Luis Castillo has asked out of tonight's game and will not be activated from the DL. This can be taken one of two ways: On one hand, this could be taken as a sad move, where he just wants to keep sitting and collect his money. I don't think that's the case, as I think (hope) it's more likely that he's just doesn't feel ready and feels bad that he'd be taking the spot of another player, and ...

 Luis Castillo to return tomorrow
Luis Castillo to return tomorrow
Groan ! Luis Castillo is scheduled to return tomorrow, as the Mets will be back at "full strength" for the first time in a while. I know the Mets are paying this guy $25 million, but I honestly think the team would be a lot better off cutting this guy loose. Damion Easley and Argenis Reyes have done more in his absence than Castillo ever could. Reyes even reminds me of Castillo, with his ...
