- I’ve listened to many analyst say that Luis Castillo is the best of the 2Bs available at the deadline. And I love John Kruk’s use of the term, “moxie.”
- Jim Bowden and Billy Beane continue to prove they drive hard bargains as neither made a trade.
- Minaya kept his chips as none of his Blue Chip prospects went anywhere. Bowden wanted probably two of them for Cordero. Beane probably asked for Lastings Milledge and Mike Pelfrey just to take the call.
- Ed Colemen, in his WFAN blog, made a good point that the Mets too often try to “float players through the roster” while they are hurt as they did with Carlos Beltran. It left them exteremly short handed in that game against the Nats when Randolph was forced to use two pitchers-El Duque to run and Tom Glavine to hit. I agree. They cannot do the same thing with LoDuca either but I’m sure Pauly’s fighting them on it. Good thing thre Mets also have trimmed the roster to 11 pitchers-especially since Randolph never uses Aaron Sele.
