The NY Post is reporting that Luis Hernandez is the likely winner preferred by Terry Collins in the 2nd base race. Not sure how he might be going that route with the limited work that Luis has shown since he came back from him broken foot.
One thing is true no one seems set on Castillo as of yet. As the Mets open there 2nd half of the spring season tonight against the Nationals, there has to be some paring down of the players at 2nd. Maybe this week . Honestly I figured the Mets would make a cut or 2 on there off day. Collins I am sure is not a Castillo disciple just because of the drama and whining that he has already dealt with in the couple of weeks of spring.
Castillo wanted more playing time and he has played better since getting more opportunity but he hits a dunk here a pop fly single there. Will the Mets want to play him just since they owe him 6M and will likely dump the 12M Perez remains to be seen.
I like Hernandez for what has has shown so far but I think its too early to give him the crown. Doubt Collins is ready to fight the brass to have Hernandez on the team just yet.
