Shoulda realized it when he said he would “cut” Reyes if he showed him up again…should have realized it when he sold Church down the river after he missed 3rd base and questioned his makeup after the concussions. Now I realize it. In addition to being an awful manager, he is mean spirited as well. By the way his quote today when asked about if he thinks the Mets will pitch a no hitter this year? I’m paraphrasing….” I’ll probably be somewhere in California when that happens.” So, he either figures he’ll be fired soon, or that none of his pitchers have the capability to throw a no hitter. Moron.

Jerry did much the same last spring.

I don’t like him for this reason, among others.

Another blurb from Jerry:

“Regarding Jason Bay, Manuel believes he fits the model of a player the team needs for Citi Field, but if other players had performed better and/or were healthy, they might have considered bringing in a player with more speed.”

Harry is right. The guy is just mean spirited

(4) “NY Post: Jerry Manuel is confident Fernando Martinez can develop into a center fielder now that LF has a steady resident.”

Guess he forgot about Beltran still being here for two more years.

The flaw here is that Angel Pagan is not a very good hitter or baserunner.
You weaken the lineup having him hit first and Jose 3rd.
I wouldn’t worry too much about this. Jerry talked about moving Jose to 3rd in the order last spring as well. Never happened.
And never will.

I didn’t like the idea at first, but it’s looking better and better to me after giving it more thought.

Of course, Angel and Juis have to be as productive as last season, but if Jose comes up with them on base and Wright/Bay behind him, those 2Bs and 3Bs will drive in a ton of runs. Both of them are far more valuable at the top of the order than anywhere else.

And if Jose is on 1B whoever bats clean-up will get a TON of fastballs to tear into. We expect Carlos back in May, so if things aren’t working (or maybe even if they are) we can go back to Jose leading off.

Oh also, it seems the lesser manuel, known affectioanltely as jerry the jerk, threw Beltran under the bus and Bay too for that matter. Good move Jerry. Forget the little guys, go after your stars. Suppress everyone as soon as possible.
