Minaya's Replacement Goes To Arizona

Probably the best replacement for beleaguered Mets GM, Omar Minaya, has been hired by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

As recently tweeted by Jon Heyman, Kevin Towers was signed by the DBacks for two years with options.

Towers would have been a good fit for the Mets, but what does it say about this organization? Towers goes to a team 31 games under .500. He apparently sees that as a better employment opportunity than a team that is 3 games under .500. Has Jeff's incompetence run so rampant throughout Major League Baseball that no one wants to work here?

Now the Mets may not have made any offer to Towers being that Omar is still sitting in the GM's seat, but the season has been over for a long time, and they should have started paving the road for a new GM so that all the best choices aren't off the board by the time November rolls around.



All these years, and this team still doesn't get it. The scary part? We might very well look back at 2009 as "The Good 'Ol Days" - and that scares the daylights out of me.
