Luis Castillo could come off the DL as soon as Tuesday in Washington, setting the stage for a potential showdown between Jerry Manuel and the second baseman over playing time. Manuel likes how Damion Easley and Argenis Reyes have performed in place of Castillo, who went on the DL with a strained hip flexor in early July. "We're not pacifying any egos or anything like that," Manuel said when asked about Castillo's response to sharing time.

the guy is a shell of himself-
if he were a horse- he'd be put out to pasture

of course he's not. He'll play 4 times a week.

You play the guy that gives you the best chance of winning. Any major leaguer that doesn't understand that doesn't belong there.

Castillo's stock has really dropped the last couple of years, hasn't it?

I still like him.....primarly for his role in the Bartman game.....

like everyone didn't know that giving this guy a 4 year deal before this season was a bad idea

That's true.....

Gotta stick with what works during this final stretch to the playoffs. Go w/Easley & Reyes.

August 10, 2008  04:33 PM ET

never should have signed him in the off season in the first place....

Omar made a poor personnel decision? Gosh, I'm shocked.
