An article from The Hardball Times praising Minaya for:

-Bradford
-Oliver
-Duaner
-Feliciano
-Valentin
-Maine
-Endy
-Berto
-Mota
-Willams


]The players I've listed have contributed 33 Win Shares Above Bench (as of August 30), or 11 more wins than a typical bench player. And most of them have cost the Mets less than a typical free agent bench player.

It may be luck, it may be skill. It may be the result of a team with money taking good calculated risks. Whatever it is, Minaya's had it this year.


None of this is really news to us, but still.

Berto cost more than a typical free agent bench player, but I guess that's where the "most of them" comes from.
