The biggest problem/criticism leveled against the ‘07 Mets was the front office undermining Willie Randolph in the clubhouse. So today by Omar coming out and saying the Mets will not pursue Rudy Jaramilo it tells me that Willie has gotten back his clubhouse:

 {”I love Rudy like a brother, but it would be totally unfair to bring him in after I interviewed him as manager,” Minaya said. “It wouldn’t be fair to HoJo, who did an outstanding job as hitting coach. If you look at the numbers, everything in the second half of the year we were up in.”}

As much as would have loved to see Jaramilo work with Reyes and Milledge and Gomez I’m much happier that it looks like Willie Randolph has gotten his clubhouse back.
