The Terry Watch Watch is in no way suggesting there is a Terry Watch nor should there be. The Terry Watch Watch just watches the media to see if a Terry Watch begins….Adam Rubin has a must-read today that I will include in the Terry Watch Watch. Adam’s premise, with which I agree, is that the problem is not the manager.
if the price was, say, six losing seasons under (Alderson’s) watch first — plus the two from Minaya that preceded it — was that really great front-office work? Or if you fail enough seasons, is it simply inevitable that at some point you’ll accrue enough young talent to be competitive again?
via Analysis: The problem isn’t the manager – Mets Blog – ESPN New York.
Firing the manager is the easiest and fastest track to make the team look like they did something.
II think people are very much frustrated with TC’s in game management and how he handles the pitching staff.
Firing the manage is the easy part The next question s who would want to come manage this team?
We can’t fire the owners. Collins is the easy way out. As for Alderson, remember why he’s there: To save the Wilpons from themselves. Placed in the position by the Wilpons’ savior, Allan Huber (Hyman Roth, or Bud) Selig. Will Sandy continue after this season with the Mets?
The only thing correctly identifiable as “the” problem with the Mets is that winning is too far down the list of the Wilpons’ priorities for their franchise. Everything else–including a manager of questionable skill–is “a” problem that flows down from that.
