Mets reportedly interested in Eckstein as 2B
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20071117&content_id=2302425&vkey=hotstove2007&fe xt=.jsp
"Thinking -- and acting -- outside the box, as general manager Omar Minaya says he likes to do, the Mets are pursuing a career shortstop to play second base and provide some of the fire the team lacked last season."
"Eckstein is widely recognized as one of baseball's foremost gamers."
"The Mets may see him as source of the grit and resolve their team lacked last season and may believe Eckstein would provide some of the fire Paul Lo Duca provided in his two seasons as their catcher."
Oh, and this:
"The News said Eckstein is thought to be seeking a four-year contract worth $36 million, which, the paper said, exceeds what Castillo is expected to command."
Lol!!!
