Willie's win percentage among Met managers, courtesy of UMDB, who already has Manuel penciled in as a 0-0 manager. Name Years G W L T Pct.

pretty meaningless numbers imo. every team came with wildly different expectations, and even with different reasonable expectations.

Wow, I'm poinding out meaningless posts. Feel free to add meaning.

It's a little surprising that Willie ended up with a higher winning percentage than Bobby Valentine. That's because it's easy to forget 2002, when Bobby went 75-86 (.466) If Bobby had left the Mets after 2001, he would have been at .547.

Making that defecit up would be a great reason for Valentine to return.

Mike Cubbage could move up five places with one win.
