News: The Meeting is On
According to the New York Post, Willie Randolph and Omar Minaya are meeting with Fred and Jeff Wilpon at 2 pm.
…in other words, right now…good luck, boys…
…Update…3:10 pm…
…from what i can gather, one of the main goals of this meeting is for fred and jeff to listen to willie, not fire him, and get a sense of what may be wrong in the locker room and on the field, while also hearing from omar on how certain situations can or cannot be fixed…
…in other words, it sounds like a meeting of the minds, talking constructively and honestly about what’s up with the Mets, so that a plan can be put in place to try and make things right – with or without willie, omar or other players on the roster…
…Update…3:45 pm…
…if i’m correct about the above, and i think i am, i like this approach…fact is, as much as we do not like to hear it, there is a lot of baseball yet to be played…and, it probably makes far better sense to hear people out, collect information, analyze it and then create a plan for moving forward with the best possible personnel, whomever that may be…
…as i have said before, i like willie’s old-school, hard-nosed style…the problem is that he does not have players who fit that mold…so, either he needs some new players, or the current players need a different leader – or, some constructive combination of the two…either way, though, the status quo is not working, and today seems to be a nice step in figuring out how best to move forward…
