Mr. Citi Field: Luis Castillo

Luis Castillo just may win NL Player of the month honors for July.

He currently sports a .400 batting average in July along with an otherworldly .500 OBP.

Moreover, the guy loves Citi Field.

Castillo has a .356 home batting average in 2009, and an outstanding .881 OPS at Citi Field. The parks size suits him better than any other Met.

Castillo is having a very nice season, and with the amount of home games the Mets have over the next 30+ days, he has a chance to finish what he started when he came to camp in great shape--a .300+ season that proves to everyone--and himself--that he is still a solid player that can hit, run, draw walks, and contribute to a winner.
