The Mets met for the first time with the incredibly disciplined Sandy Alderson and you know they had to walk out of that lengthy meeting quite impressed. Of course my question is did Alderson walk out of Citi Field shaking his head or excited about the challenge?
As we all know there is no quick fix to the Mets issues and the fact that there is a Wilpon involved has to make everyone a little bit uneasy. I mean Jeff and Ricco are talking to the prospective GM’s about the notion that Jeff meddles. Of course a lot of it is media driven but at same time we know at the end of Omar’s reign he couldn’t go to the bathroom with out asking permission.
Alderson spent time in the Military and fought for our country in Vietnam and former executives have said that he runs a disciplined ship but expects everyone to contribute. Sounds like he knows what’s it like to be a leader. Something I am sure Jeff Wilpon can learn from since sooner or later the aging Fred Wilpon will have to hand everything off to Jeff. Just writing that makes me shudder.
