The Brawling Mr. B




As we have all heard and read, the much maligned VP of Player Development, Tony Bernazard, is once again in the middle of alleged inexcusable behavior.

It is being alleged that earlier this month Bernazard took off his shirt and challenged the AA Binghamton Mets to a fight. If true, the Mets cannot accept that sort of behavior from a VP of Player Development.

Another accusation is that there was a "heated exchange" between Mr. B and Francisco Rodriguez. When asked, K-Rod simply replied, "No comment. I have nothing to say."

Minaya, while questioned on this last night, had a press conference before the game. Minaya, undoubtedly in a precarious position himself, said he would make no comments, and they consider these charges seriously, and will investigate.

It must also be noted that these reports of Bernazard and his behaviour have been reported exclusively by the NY Daily News.

All I know, as being a fan, Bernazard has not done a good job with the minor league system. All one needs to do is look at AA Binghamton (37-58 ) is in last place, and AAA Buffalo has the worst record in the International League (34-58 ).

It's is time for Mr. B to take his act to another location. Too bad the GM job in Seattle (24 Hours...October 9, 2008, 24 Hours...October 23, 2009) didn't work out for him...and the Mets.
