I have no ...I agree housecleaning is in order NOW!! I have no idea who Willie's replacement should be however, Nor Omar's. It is fairly obvious that this season is toast given the current roster, but who will take Delgado/Castillo off our hands? Wi no Farm system depth it looks to be an ugly 3-5 years<BR/><BR/>Luis<BR/><BR/>Adenzeno@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-59674894381238786142008-06-10T17:34:00.000+01:002008-06-10T17:34:00.000+01:00Luis, thanks for the comments - indeed it's clear ...Luis, thanks for the comments - indeed it's clear there is alot of blame to be left at the feet of Omar. In some ways whilst he has constructed a team of big names it is a top heavy team without the traditional sort of "team depth" championship teams usually have.<BR/>On the other hand, Bobby V took the Mets further than Willie can even dream of and did so with alot less talent than what has been assembled on the 2007 Mets. And lastly nobody wins world championships with a team as old as the 2008 Mets. So yes, equal blame both for poor GMing and gutless managing. Problem is, who wants to wait the rest of a miserable season to clean house?!Jaaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918548497554962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-53151975001124241802008-06-09T22:23:00.000+01:002008-06-09T22:23:00.000+01:00If you looke carefully you can see where the seeds...If you looke carefully you can see where the seeds of this sad effort lie-While I blame Willie for the lack of fire on this team, it is on Omar for his signings and lack thereof-<BR/>1-in 2005 we had the worst offense at 1B in theleague, which is the EASIEST spot in which to find Offense- wi the arrival of Jcaobs that seemed to change BUT<BR/>2- we traded Jacobs for Delgado(who had already spurned the Mets as a GA), essentially trading 6-8 years of above avg 1B play and youth for Carlos-good in 06, horrible since<BR/>3-It is NOT THAT HARD to find a 1B who can hit and we STILL dont have one<BR/>4-FOUR YEARS for Castillo, a man who his such soft singles atht he can barely drive in a man fron 3rd<BR/>5-Letting Gotay go- thionk we could use him now<BR/>6-Lindstrom, Bell traded for NOTHING<BR/>7-Allowing Mota to stay on the team last year<BR/>8-Thinking Shawn Green could actually be a RF last year<BR/>9- Allowing Flores to be taken in the rule 5 draft(thinkwe could use a young catcher hitting .300 right now)<BR/>10-THREE Catchers?? wi such a short bench<BR/>11- Not DLing Church IMMEDIATELY after the 2nd concussion<BR/><BR/>The right side of the inf is an offensive and defensive void(Castillo has no range anymore, but good hands)-C position is another offensive void as is LF-combined wi the pitcher you have 5 holes and only 4 places where hitters reside-3B, SS Cf, and RF-the two EASIEST places to find hitters? 1B and LF- WHY CANT OMAR DO SOMETHING?<BR/><BR/>Luis<BR/><BR/>Adenzeno@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
