Hudson > Castillo

There has been a lot of talks this offseason about the Mets' second baseman. There have been a lot of ideas thrown around and a lot of suggestions on what to do with that position. The idea that I most agree with that I don't think ownership will agree with is to sign Orlando Hudson and bench Luis Castillo.

This is a great idea. If we get Hudson, we would have a superb defense and offense. Now I don't know how they would like the fact of eating Castillo's contract on the bench, but I think it should be done. From what I've heard, Castillo is a downer in the clubhouse and Hudson is very positive. Plus, Hudson can produce offense along with his great defense.

Castillo has been an eye sore to the Mets for some time, and there needs to be a change. How would you not sell more tickets if ownership listens to you, the fan, and upgrade second base? This would be a smart idea for both on and off the field. The signing would bring new blood and a new face to the infield where he will be loved by us Mets fans instead of hated like Castillo.

Reyes-Hudson-Wright-Beltran-Bay-Francoeur-Murphy-Molina is a crazy lineup that gives us great depth. If I were Omar, I would definitely sign Hudson and bench Castillo. Castillo would be pissed and ask to be traded and Omar will tell me that he tried the entire offseason to trade him, so good luck.

I think I can speak for every Mets fan out there, Castillo needs to leave New York.
