According to SNY and a tornado of tweets, the Mets have released 2B Luis Castillo and he is not at Digital Domain Park.
Alderson will be addressing the Media in a little while.
So now it appears that the 2B competition field is narrowed down somewhat, but truth be told the battle now exists between Daniel Murphy & Luis Hernandez — one has shown the ability to hit the ball, hit doubles, etc. However that person is Daniel Murphy and he struggles in the field as he continues to learn the Second Base position. The other player is a 26 year old scrub, who didn't do much for us last season, didn't do much at all in previous seasons on other ballclubs but essentially is a much better defensive middle-infielder who has hit the ball very well in the limited at bats he has had this spring. Turner and Emaus are still in the competition however neither player has shown much offensive production this month.
