Jerry Manuel Continues to Ignore Stats

Today's lineup is the same as yesterday's, with the exception of a catching change (day game after a night game):

Murphy, 1b
Pagan, rf
Beltran, dh
Sheffield, lf
Wright, 3b
Reed, cf
Castro, c
Martinez, ss
Castillo, 2b

This is not the correct lineup. Luis Castillo should bat leadoff today.

Luis is 9 for 20 lifetime against Wakefield, easily the most success of any Met against the knuckleballer.
