This has been an utter disappointment of a season for the New York Mets. With a brand new stadium and some big names brought into the mix (particularly bullpen ace Francisco Rodriguez), hopes were high for the Mets in 2009.
What started out on a somewhat positive note has ended in a downright mess. The New York Mets are fourth in the National League East division, only ahead of the lowly Washington Nationals by a mere 14 wins, and tied for the fifth worst record in baseball.
This begs the obvious question. Why has manager Jerry Manuel not been fired yet? Following the dismissal of Willie Randolph in 2008, Manuel was intended to serve as the interim manager for the Mets while they sought out a replacement. The Mets chose to stay with Manuel, and ended playing some efficient baseball under his leadership. Unfortunately for the Mets, a collapse during the final two weeks of the season gave way to the Phillies and blew a huge division lead.
Many wondered why Manuel would not have been fired at that point. This was a good question, but general manager Omar Minaya opted to give Manuel another season as the team’s manager.
When looking at the Mets’ current state, it’s quite apparent that Manuel needs to go. Despite the fact that the Mets have endured numerous injuries, the team has played uninspired baseball and something simply seems off. It starts with the people in charge, and a healthy Mets team in 2010 would benefit from a new leader in the clubhouse.
