I would never have pegged Ramon Castro to be a guy who would one day be starting his fourth year with the Mets.

Feliciano is a fun case. He appears, when you look at his record, to be a continuous Met. In fact he's been lost once to the Tigers on winter waivers, where he was reclaimed after the Tiggs released him from camp, and signed once by the Fukuoka Hawks where he played for a year.

So, by one definition, he's a Met lifer, and by another definition, he's the only three-time Met in history.

According to [url=http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/mets/]Ben Shipgel[/url], Aaron Heilman's seniority finally paid off as he got his own reserved parking place in Port St. Lucie. (I seem to recall he was miffed that he didn't get one last year).

Then again, that does seem to be the norm for Met backup backstops through the years.
