Diamond Mine

The Mets get:
2b Luis Castillo. Castillo should do better than Jose Valentine has been doing for the mets. Castillo is probably a better fielder, but he's not having his best year according to RZR. The Mets are better off with Marlon Anderson and Castillo than Valentine because of the flexibilty Anderson has. That will be particularly useful for the playoffs.

The Twins get:
C Drew Butera &
CF Dustin Martin

Drew Butera seem comepletely uninteresting to me, but luckily for him he works at a defensive position where his weak bat might not hinder his progress through the minors than if he was trying to get by ANYWHERE else. Dustin Martin doesn't seem to be SO bad. I honestly haven't read any scouting reports about him but his 770-ish OPS isn't so bad ofr a center fielder so long as he can field the position well. I'd be amazed if the Twins get a real gem out of this but I think that martin might turn out ok for a 26th round pick (whatever that might mean).
