Poll: Luis Castillo Confidence Level

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

In 2009 Luis Castillo played in 142 games and put up the following stats: .302 avg | 147 H | 12 2b | 20 SB. Dispite a dropped ball against the Yankees, in my opinion Castillo was the Mets 2009 team MVP due to his consistency throughout the season. Coming off what I think was his best season in 4 years the Mets unsuccessfully tried to trade him over the off-season. Please take the poll below and let me know how confident are you in Luis Castillo repeating his 2009 performance.
