GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
One thing that was made quite clear this week is that the New York Mets do not run the smoothest operation in the world. The decision to fire Willie Randolph took too long, the way they fired him was sloppy and multiple people have been accused of working behind his back to expedite his departure. The overarching theme was that there were too many cooks in the Mets kitchen and that the Wilpons listened to all of them before making every decision. What better way to begin rectifying that than by bringing in another guy in a white coat. The Mets hired former Reds GM Wayne Krivsky to be a Special Assistant to Omar Minaya. His main responsibility will be major league scouting. He did some nice things with the Reds, especially taking a shot on Josh Hamilton and turning him into Edinson Volquez, but some poor ones as well. It's probably best if he's a step or two removed from pulling the trigger.
Given the way the Mets operate, you might expect that his secondary job would be sharpening knives to drive into Minaya's back. He'd have to battle another assistant GM, Tony Bernazard, for that honor, however. Minaya and Krivsky actually worked together with the Rangers for a long time, so this is more likely a case of the GM bringing in someone who has his back rather than someone who has designs on his job. Not a bad idea when your job security isn't the strongest.
