Interesting. Unless the Mets go on a tear before the All Star break, Omar should probably be sent packing. That gives the new GM time to get to know the Mets players for the second half of the season and time to evaluate the minor league talent of other teams.Jaaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918548497554962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-25395233630185444732008-07-01T23:31:00.000+01:002008-07-01T23:31:00.000+01:00The ADD thing ocurred to me because I heard someon...The ADD thing ocurred to me because I heard someone describing how Cairo and Valentin used to keep him focused defensively. Also Wright used to talk about how Jose used to sing between pitches. Don't forget, some brainpower is required. For instance, back up that base. Do not steal third with two out. Things like that. I too would like to trade him. We need to restock and good players are needed. He can bring back 3 or 4. I have not seen any Jose Reyes type players on the last ten or so Series winners. So what is the big deal. He is our ticket to rebuild quickly and well. Of course, we need a new GM to handle it. Dopey is not up to it.

I'm not sure ADD applies here, does it? I mean baseball is a skill sport not fucking chess. Ball players are not known for their high IQs to begin with. I think he's just got a bad attitude probably not helped by watching Castillo putting in a half effort most games. I'd say trade him now while he's still worth something. I can't say his attitude is undergo some magical transformation any time soon.<BR/><BR/>Your theory on Castillo's contract is a possibility. Or maybe Omar's helping out one of this hermanos, who knows. Omar has already shown with his handling of sacking Willie he let's personal shit get in the way of baseball decisions, a fatal flaw.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be sad to see any of these guys go, bar Wright.Jaaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918548497554962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-74972044391039138712008-07-01T16:37:00.000+01:002008-07-01T16:37:00.000+01:00my apologies...somehow I posted this last one as "...my apologies...somehow I posted this last one as "anonymous"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-49764586005324197732008-07-01T15:07:00.000+01:002008-07-01T15:07:00.000+01:00I am convinced Castillo was signed to a FOUR YEAR ...I am convinced Castillo was signed to a FOUR YEAR DEAL to appease Santana, to make him want to come here. I also think that this signing alone is enough grounds to fire Omar on the grounds that he is an idiot. You cannot have a statue at second base. We have the worst defensive infield in baseball. Wright is awful. His gold glove was a bigger travesty than the NHL refs were in the payoffs this year. Reyes has slipped. Castillo and Delgado/Tatis (hahahaha) are unmentionables. Thank God we have three fly ball pitchers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-82561893233376476992008-07-01T14:14:00.000+01:002008-07-01T14:14:00.000+01:00somewhat off topic: reyes and his focus, reyes an...somewhat off topic: reyes and his focus, reyes and his tantrums. my non-medical observation: has anyone tested him for ADD? It may not be simple immaturity. I do not know what kind of medical attention he received as a child not going to high school so he could play baseball at the professional level. It might be something as simple as that. Our "crack" medical staff, as Ryan Church can attest, would never pick up on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
