Quote: I Believe in Willie Randolph
Mets GM Omar Minaya, following today’s game, when asked if Willie Randolph’s job is safe…
“I look at his job for the past three years. The question, as far as if his job is safe, I will tell you that I am pleased with the work that Willie Randolph has done…
“I believe in Willie Randolph. We’re a team together. The bottom line, Willie Randolph, for me, has done a good job. You don’t look at a person just one year. You look at a person over a couple of years and the change that has happened. I can tell you that Willie Randolph, in the past three years here, has turned this franchise around in a lot of ways…I owe it to sit down with my ownership and tell them what I think, but I’m telling you that I am happy with the work that Willie Randolph has done here for the past few years.”
…the way i am hearing this response, is that omar likes willie and will recommend to ownership that he not be fired, but a) that depends on the future direction of the overall team, and b) regardless, the decision is ultimately up to the Wilpons, and so minaya will not comment either way…
