Yea, we had to watch him decline a little his last season as a Met, but the guy was among the better all around players in the league in his prime. Its even better that he was a homegrown player who adored the fans-remember when he rented space on all those NYC taxis thanking fans for their support when he left? Alfonso was an A+ player without a doubt So much of what you said is dead on but I strongly disagree with you about Alfonso.

Bobby V took a number of rag tag Mets teams and managed to make overachievers of them, and believers of all the Orange and Blue fans in '99 and '00. Whether those same fans could "stomach" another few years of multiple double switches, pitching match ups, and the odd faces of Bobby V is questionable. That this current team would not play well under a manager that demands that they put their faith in his capable and culpable hands by trusting in his instincts, in my opinion, is impossible.

Alfonzo and Ventura were B+ players at best, Olerud had a couple of very fine years, but Bobby V got to the World Series without him in 2000. Ordonez was a joke, and in what universe was Benitez was a "top closer"? Are you kidding me here, or what? Anyhoo, let's talk about the rest of the roster: Timo Perez, Beny Agbayani, Derek Bell, Jay Payton, Todd Zeile, Darryl Hamilton... I mean, give me a break. Sure, we loved 'em, but they weren't that good. The fact that Bobby V got so much out of this pile of rejects speaks volumes to his skills as a manager. Pompous? Yes, but I'll take pompous and competent over down-to-earth and incompetent (ahem, Willie) any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
