Injury Updates
With Paul Lo Duca already on the disabled list the Mets have been playing it safe with Ramon Castro. Castro is suffereing from arthritis in his back and while he has not be placed on the DL the team has been starting Mike DiFelice the last few games. Adding injury to injury Carlos Delgado left […]
Mets & Rockies To Make Another Trade?
According to a report by Ken Rosenthal at Foxsports.com the Mets are in discussions with the Colorado Rockies to acquire backup catcher Danny Ardoin and infielder Luis Gonzalez. I guess the thought process on Ardoin is that with Ramon Castro on the shelf and Mike DiFelice being mostly useless what has Omar Minaya have to […]

According to the AP the Mets and backup catcher Ramon Castro have agreed to a 1-year contract worth $800,000. This takes Castro off of the arbitration list.

Omar Minaya made a deal over the weekend that appears to be very unpopular with other Mets bloggers. Excuse me for thinking differently than the crowd. In order the fill the catching vacancy left by Mike Piazza‘s departure the Mets turned to the source that gave them Piazza in the first place and traded for […]
Mets Sign Santiago
I guess Mike Piazza put a scare into Omar Minaya last week when he left a game against the Houston Astros in the first inning. Perhaps fearing the team was a little thin at catcher should Piazza get hurt and be out for any length of time the Mets signed free agent catcher Benito Santiago […]
Graves Still Not Quite A Met – But Almost
Danny Graves wore a Mets uniform (no. 32), pitched batting practice (to batter Ramon Castro) and received a hug from Pedro Martinez but is still not officially a Met. Graves agents and the Mets are still working out the particulars of the 2006 portion of his contract. As soon as those details are worked out […]

Mike Piazza was hit by a foul ball in the top of the first and was out of the game when his turn came up in the batting order at the bottom of the inning. Ramon Castro replaced him and hit a double (his first extra base hit of the season) in the bottom of […]
