I don’t know whether to believe any of this stuff anymore but just days after reading about how the Mets were going after David Eckstein to play second base, they sign Luis Castillo to a big four year, $25 million deal.  Castillo provides the Mets with a nice table setter and while you won’t get a lot of power from the second baseman, you can rely on him to get some walks, score some runs and provide you with some top notch defense.

I like the move and prefer it over the Eckstein rumor.  The Mets still need to do some work on the pitching side of things but their offense should be top notch when you throw in a full season of Castillo at the top of the lineup.
