Read: Sherman on Randolph
In a very insightful post to his blog for the New York Post, Joel Sherman points out that while Willie Randolph is not disliked in his own clubhouse, his players may be indifferent towards him.
According to Sherman, “There is not a wholehearted disrespect, but critically there is not respect either. Not hate, but not love. And this is bad for Randolph…The fans don’t like this team and the media has picked up on that plus the uncomfortable environment that exists in the Met clubhouse. And the Wilpons are very susceptible to fan and media choruses. That is why Willie is in big trouble.”
Sherman continues on to write about the Nationals and Devil Rays, as well as Johan Santana, who will have more than a baseball in his hands tonight.
