fkornre Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 Who the hell is THAT?? What happened to Backman? Valentine? Christ almighty...they finally gave backman a chance to interview and i am sure bobby v along with his costumes are also in consideration but collins and randolph are in the top 5...

fkornre Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 mike francessa (sp?) brought up a great point yesterday...joe girardi will make a great manager one day real soon...i know he was a yankee and is an announcer for the yankees but being a former catcher and his knowledge of pitchers/pitching, he will make a great manager one day...the mets should try to scoup him up early...

bxbomb Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 loved Willie since i was a kid , and someday he will make a decent MGr. not sure if hes ready though , no experience whatso ever as a Mangaer spent the past 20 yrsmoslty american league expereinces , NOt sure if flushing a good starting point.....but i wish him well if he gets itIt should be Wally B fiery dude with MEt ties and he has coaching expereince and has won minor league mgr of the yr few times Leyland will get a look if hes interested , but word is he isnt Whatever happened to Cito Gaston ???? 2 rings in a row only 12 yrs ago then dissapears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxbomb Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 and if Willie does get the job ..look for Joe Girardi to move on down to bench coach for the yanksgod knows Joe could use the help after that display of managing the last 4 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfitz73 Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 I think Willie would be a good manager. If I were a Met fan, my only concern would be him having almost no experience in the NL. It's a different game in that league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 Ragga - why are you so against Willie as the Mets manager? It better not be just cause he was a Yankee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookie23 Posted October 27 Author Report Share Posted October 27 Ragga - why are you so against Willie as the Mets manager? It better not be just cause he was a Yankee.Well that's one reason for sure - because there are better options available in the Mets Circle (i.e. Backman, Dykstra, Carter and Valentine)The other is that he's not experienced in managing (even on the minor league level) and to start him off here is a disaster waiting to happen...also, he's too damn thin skinned to deal with the media.

I hope they take him, he was my choice after they fired Valentine. It's true that he has no managerial experience and he hasn't coached in the NL but he has been sitting on a bench in between Joe Torre and Don Zimmer, both successful NL managers (and ex-Mets). And I'm not sure he won't be able to handle the media. He has been involved in NY baseball for how many years now and he grew up in Brooklyn so I think he'll do fine. and plus, the Daily News said that it's a possibility that he will bring Jaramillo and Bowa with him. I would like to see the 80s Mets too, but I think Omar is doing the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world, Lou Pinella would be the perfect fit here....but I'll be more than happy with either Valentine or Backman.Jarmillo already stated that he'd come to the Mets as a manager - nothing else. If Bowa comes here in any capacity, I'll put out a hit on his ass...he's more of a cancer than A-Rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
