Friday five: Cleaning house at Citifield

This week's five focuses on my beloved Metropolitans and their dismal effort so far this season. I figure there are at least five players on the roster who should dispatched to the scrap heap.

Here are my choices:

1. Fernando Tatis — the Mets got all they were going toget out of this retread, who has turned into a doubleplay machine.

2. Luis Castillo — A slap hitter with no power, a former Gold Glover who is terrible in the field, a terrible signing that kept them from going after Orlando Hudson.

3. Brian Schneider — A veteran with absolutely nothing to offer.

4. Tim Redding — I was once told that, if I had nothing good to say I should say nothing. I have nothing to say.

5. Livan Hernandez — It was a nice run that came to its inevitable and disastrous conclusion

Let's go, Mets!
