What's on 2nd? ... I don't know (3rd base)

From Newsday:

]The New York Mets are rumored to be considering three options at second base for 2008. Luis Castillo, Mets. They want him back, and he seemed happy during his brief stay. David Eckstein, St. Louis Cardinals. He's a free agent, and he probably could make a smooth transition from shortstop. Geoff Blum, San Diego Padres. A nice player, although his California roots probably will keep him with the Padres.

I would hope that Ruben Gotay will get a chance to compete for the job, especially if Castillo is not brought back. He did enough at the dish last year to deserve at least a shot at the starting lineup, IMHO.

A look at the once top 2B prospect currently barely hanging on to an ML career but still the apple of Vic Sage's eye - one Josh Barfield

[Guest Edgy DC]

Barfield is carrying the weight of his familily's problems. That's my story.

Guys like Barfield or Chris Burke would be worth a low-risk look, but their present value is such that I couldn't at this point justify dealing more than a marginal prospect for either.
