After another terrible looking defeat, this time 4-1 to the Rockies, I’m left searching for answers. This is what we know: Luis Castillo sucks, and he just got a four-year, $25 million extension. Greeeaaat. So, if you’re Minaya, here’s what you do:
Pay whatever the heck you need to pay to get Castillo off the team. I don’t care if you have to cut him a $25 million check. He has to go. Then, once he is gone, fire Willie Randolph as manager and immediately offer him a contract to play second base, because he is a definite upgrade from Castillo. Then, since Moises Alou won’t be playing consistently for the Mets ever again, turn him into a player-manager, like in the old days. When he’s healthy, he can run himself out there, but if not, let him run this club. At least he knows how to get fired up.
