He sucked enough last year that the Washington Nationals didn't want him anymore. That's saying something. OldFatGuy is probably laughing at this. At least the Mets get another player with a sort of cool name.
You flip out over the Mets calling up Casey Fossum, but are excited for Wily Mo Pena.
I've truly never seen a stranger method of evaluating players.
He hit a REALLLLLLLLLLY long HR in KC one time...so there is that.
Is he as intimidating as Gary Sheffield? :rolleyes:
I remember back in 2004 when he looked like he might develop into a good power hitter. It was too good to be true.
wow from all the minors leagues who do nothing who we got we could have signed o-dog
yes.Quote:

He could be the Mets version of Cody Ransom :pQuote:

It's not as simple as "They should have signed him."Quote:

You answered your own question then, Eddie Boy. They'd need to get rid of Castillo, and there's likely no team in baseball that wanted him. And it's not like Baseball Mogul where you can include some cash to get rid of him.
Yet you don't answer aim;) True but still he;s better than cora who they signed for 2 mil and could help a lotmore but w/e I'll end this before some dumb arugment startsQuote:

Cashman: OK, DEAL! We have Jose Reyes now too!
Omar: Jose Reyes? I meant Raul Reyes. Congratulations!
*Cashman cries*

Good point, you probably could not hear him in the first post. It is not like you can scroll up a little and read it:)Quote:

My Last.FM is messed up, it records everything I listen too multiple times. If you look at the time played, they are all the same. I am not sure why it does this...Quote:
