Omar deserves his own thread

Why am I surprised he is 64? He's been around forever

It's weird but I love the fact that we have a catch-all Omar Minaya thread to exchange all Omar Minaya-related information throughout the year. How much do you think we should expect?

I don't expect much. Yes, he's moving to the (local) MFYs, but to a position that shouldn't draw much attention to anything specific that he does. He'll be an advisor, but won't be the one who pulls the trigger on any moves they make. Of course, if they make a trade that blows up in their faces, "insider" reporters will be told that the move was made based on Omar's advice. Later

While driving home yesterday Michael Kay was spinning this as great leadership from Cashman bringing in Saben and Minaya.

I just read his Wiki Page, he's had a lot of jobs! I didn't recall this one, "On January 6, 2009, President George W. Bush appointed Minaya to a position on his Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Minaya's term lasted 16 months. As stated by mlb.com writer Anthony DiComo, "the council serves as a catalyst to promote health and fitness through participation in physical activity and sports."
