Terry Collins Wants Offensive Second Baseman


Judging from this statement Luis Castillo's days as a Met are just about done and that should be great news to all Mets fan:
New York Mets manager Terry Collins said offense is a big priority from second base this year, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin. "Second base, to me, has become an enormous offensive position," Collins said. "Why? I'm not really sure, except some of the guys that have been playing there recently (Chase Utley, Dan Uggla) have put up huge numbers at second. But it's become an offensive position, so to me that's a big piece to the puzzle, especially when you've got that guy (Ike Davis) playing first base that can eat up so much ground over there. It helps out." 2Bs Brad Emaus, Daniel Murphy, Luis Castillo and Justin Turner are all fighting for the job.
