Goodbye Castro
The Mets pulled a minor trade on Friday night to accommodate Brian Schneider‘s return from the DL. They traded Ramon Castro to the Chicago White Sox for RHP Lance Broadway. The move means the catching tandem for the time being is Schneider and rookie Omir Santos. In a recent MostlyMets poll 50% of respondents voted […]

Last Week’s Poll Results
With Brian Schneider on the disabled list and Jerry Manuel showing a love for Omir Santos over Ramon Castro there’s a bit of a catcher controversy stirring up in Mets country. It came to a head last week against Florida when Manuel called for Santos to pinch hit for Castro with two outs and the […]
Schneider’s Return Delayed
Brian Schneider has developed a sore right calf and is unlikely to be activated when he is eligible to come off of the disabled list (Sunday, May 3). This will give the Mets some more time to make a decision on the Ramon Castro/Omir Santos issue. Castro is the incumbent number 2 catcher but Santos […]
Putz Not Impressive
I’m not very impressed by J.J. Putz. One week ago he blew a tie game in the 8th inning (against the Cardinals). Then yesterday he blew a one run lead in the 8th inning. This is the kind of game he was brought in to hold. Overall he’s 1-2 with a 4.09 ERA in 11 […]
Poll: How Does Santos Fit In?
Last week’s poll about what to do with Daniel Murphy saw 67% of respondents wanting Murphy to continue to play left field every day. 17% want him to platoon with Fernando Tatis and/or Gary Sheffield and another 17% want him sent to Buffalo to learn the position in a less pressured environment. This week’s poll […]

Roster Fine Tuning
The Mets completed the final fine tuning of the roster yesterday to cut down to 25 men for today’s opening game of the 2008 regular season. Orlando Hernandez, who went back to his trademark high leg kick in Saturday’s preseason finale, was put on the 15-day DL so he can work on his arm strength. […]
