Loading ...On his blog at 1050, Rich Coutinho writes about why Luis Castillo deserves another chance at second.
He writes:
“I watched Castillo all year and noticed he seemed widely out of shape early trying to recover from off-season medical procedures but he has accepted responsibility for that fact. He had an awful year and you can not really defend it but there is also no denying this guy has talent. After all, he is a 3-time All Star and provided great numbers for a Marlin team that short circuited the Yankees from winning it all in 2003. He has a knack for getting on base and can be a real defensive weapon around the second base bag when he is healthy and motivated.”

Rich Coutinho must be a Yankee fan. Or Phillies Fan. Or Braves Fan. Or …. well, you get the point.
I love this part:
” …. [Castillo] seemed widely out of shape early trying to recover from off-season medical procedures but he has accepted responsibility for that fact. He had an awful year and you can not really defend it …
So Coutinho then goes on to try and defend him.
He may have been hurt. He was out of shape. When he played he was a disaster. When he played, he hurt this team.
Name one big hit he got in his 87 games that won a game for the Mets.
How manay big hits did he even have at all?
He’s a slug …. he suckes and he should be gone.
