Ollie to Pen: Who has edge at 2nd base?

As the Mets send Oliver Perez to languish in the bullpen for now, there is still some deciding when it comes to 2nd base.  

Castillo still hasnt shown anything offensively which should be no shock.  Murphy who has been pretty good on the offense side so far this spring but hasn't been able to get down and dirty yet turning double plays. Emaus who is J P Ricardi's boy hasn't done much offensively and 1 scout was quotes as saying he might not be much of an upgrade at 2nd then Murphy has been. 

Mets will have some time to decide but like the bullpen right now, Collins has a battle to see who will be best suited to start at 2nd if they dont drag Castillo out on opening day. Maybe they can send him to the Phillies since Utely still cant play yet.  This way he can hit a game winning homer against the Mets this summer.
