He brings a lot of experience, good fielding (not great at this stage of his career), and a good bat. Their entire outlook may hinge on Pedro's return, which seems anything but a certainty. Still, they have hung on despite their own fair share of injuries. Now, with Castillo, they will have three switch-hitters at the top of their order. That is another significant improvement.Tom Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816668232837298444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610014.post-12734186326318217412007-08-01T14:01:00.000-04:002007-08-01T14:01:00.000-04:00I don't know if it can be said if the Mets improve...I don't know if it can be said if the Mets improved themselves, at least not any more than the Phillies did with Tad Iguchi. If the Braves take off from here (and it's hard to imagine they won't), at least the consolation will be getting to watch the Metsies disintegrate. They've looked weak for two months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
