Is Omar Hoping Reyes and the Carlos's Never Make It Back?

Along with Maine, Putz, etc. I do think our fortunes would have been different (and better) without the many, many injuries this year but wonder if Omar isn't secretly hoping the talent doesn't make it back on the field. I have to believe the injuries are the only thing standing between Omar and the unemployment line. This is Omar's team, staff and minor league organization -- all of whom are underperforming. Savannah and the Cyclones are the only Met farm teams over .500. Buffalo and Binghamton are a combined 69-114 for a stellar .377 winning percentage. Jerry often looks like a bystander in the dugout and Warthen has done NOTHING with any pitcher to affect any meaningful performance improvement. I'm a fan for more than 35 years and will always love the team but we're at an organizational lowpoint that rivals the early 90's or late '70's. Something's got be done and frankly it's not a matter of rebuilding. There's surely talent at the ML level -- talent that should be able to be held together -- but organizationally the front office needs to be cleaned out and fumigated, and the ML staff revamped. There is no staff in that dugout worthly of holding on to. Be bold. You want to honor the past? Let Backman, Teufel, Carter or Santana manage the team. Not enough experience??? Where's Davey Johnson? Get him back in the dugout. Get Neimann, Anderson or McDowell pitcing coach. Make a Hernandez or Darling GM. For the love of all that is good, get Mookie back in a uniform.

Shall I drag out my Reyes and Delgado will never play as a Met post from a ways back?

Please do; I'd like to see it.

I do not wonder this.

If Omar thinks this then it might be grounds for getting fired.

Edgy DC Jul 19 2009 04:37 PM

Let's not lend credibility to it. Wait a minute... I think I just saw him clapping as Nieve was carted off.

metirish Jul 19 2009 04:39 PM

I was just adding to the absurdity....

I don't put anything past Omar. Firing Randolph and Peterson was last year's move of deperation to deflect attention from the shortcomings of Minaya's creation and this year he'll be able to blame the injuries. How much time this buys him, I'm not quite sure.

At this point, I think I'd rather the team shelved Reyes and Beltran until September-- OR spring training-- if it meant they'd be healthy next year. (Yeah, mark it-- July 20. I'm there.)

I want Reyes traded..sorry

="Ashie62":15gnkg40]I want Reyes traded..sorry[/quote:15gnkg40] If that's the case, then you want something that isn't in the best interests of the club, deficient "baseball IQ" or no. Whatever you feel about the guy-- and EVEN setting aside the fact that he could still potentially have room for growth-- unless the team receives a player like Mauer, McCann, Longoria or Pujols, it will not be receiving fair market value for its asset; as those kind of assets don't typically get moved in trade unless opiates in some GM's morning coffee are involved, it would probably be extremely unwise to sell.
