Quick Q&A: How about Bobby V as GM?

by Matthew Cerrone on October 18th, 2010 at 11:53 am

Jay:  Has anybody brought up the idea of hiring Bobby V as GM??  I think he did a lot of administration in Japan.  Then he could hire Wally Backman to be the manager.

Matthew Cerrone: I think they’re looking for someone with more of a track record of building.  Bobby’s experience is in field managing.  This is not to say he couldn’t some day be a GM, it’s just, right now for the Mets, this isn’t really the a for experimenting.  I think they know they need someone who can come in with a track record of success, command respect (for himself and the franchise), and be confident in whatever his plan might be.
