Dan Uggla is a DH playing second base and any smart GM worth his salt would stay away from a player like that. His offense is great, but in building a team I would shoot for strong up the middle defense. Even with his diminishing health, Castillo is a much better fielder than Uggla. His career on base percentage also happens to be .368 and as recently as 2009 had a .387 OBP. While Castillo can't stay healthy and has aged quickly, 2b was certainly not the reason The Mets have struggled of late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225973709205976903.post-82802254732417934452010-11-17T22:08:00.788-05:002010-11-17T22:08:00.788-05:00Because the Mets aren't supposed to make the s...Because the Mets aren't supposed to make the smart deal.
