The Mets are trying to leverage a good year from Castillo in 09 to see if they can unload what is left on his contract. The Mets 2nd baseman is owed 12 M. There are reports that the Dodgers who might not sign Orlando Hudson might be interested in Castillo. If the Dodgers are the Mets might have to eat some of the salary that is owed.
The question is would the Mets then go after Orlando Hudson or maybe see if they can sign Chone Figgins and have him play 2nd base. There is some talk about the Angels free agent playing Left field for the Mets if they sign him but to me the Mets need power and to have Figgins in Left really doesn’t help the Mets in the Power department.
I would rather seem him playing 2nd base and batting 2nd behind Reyes. Figgins is an on base man and even though 2nd base is not his natural position I bet he would use 2 hands on a pop up!
