Now either he brings in a Baseball CEO to run the Mets and turns his attention to Sterling Equites and try to regain part of the fortune or they sell off part of the team and bring in a partner with capital there was a story today that the Skill Sets have told the MLS they are not in a position to buy into the league that shows the money woes of Jeffey and Fred.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('152474','kranepool'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('152474','kranepool','Nik, the only ray of hope that Jeffey gives up the keys is the fact the word is out that the Skill Sets lost close to $700 mil in the Maddoff scam.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Omar. He clearly is not up to the job of GM. He's really just a really good self-promoter and politicker. A GM needs to be a realist, not an optimist. He needs to understand what a player is likely to do on the field, not what he may do if all goes well. He needs to be able to make realistic assessments of all the players in the system all the way down to the lower minors to know what kind of chance those players have to contribute to a championship team. I don't think Omar has these qualities. He's based his whole GM career on using his personality to lure hispanic free agents. Guess what, they only care about the money. Any GM could have signed Beltran, Delgado, Santana and Francisco Rodriguez. Omar also is not statistically savvy. He doesn't understand aging curves, the importance of OBP, peripherals for evaluating pitchers etc... We need a GM with a first rate mind who is steeped in the best knowledge about player development and evaluation.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('152432','Taylor'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('152432','Taylor','I think being a GM is a tough job.

So, welcome, Steve! I LOVE your idea. I'd prefer to fire his ass now, but realistically, giving Omar a boss with a brain is an excellent plan. Doing nothing is not acceptable. 5 years, shitty farm system, no championships, 2 collapses, and horrible mis-management of the roster does not equal a return engagement, at least not without some change. I almost puked yesterday when Joe and Evan (what a treat to have them on instead of fat ass) gave Omar credit for K-Rod. A two-year-old would have known that the bullpen sucked. K-Rod was on the market, made it clear he wanted to be here, and Omar spent Jeff's money to get him. How can we give Omar credit for that? Where is the shrewd trade to make the team better? Where is talent in AA and AAA? None of it exists. And PLEASE don;t give him credit for Joahn. No competetion and he still almost fucked it up. It is bad enought o lose, but this guy saying yesterday that this one is running, that one is doing this...we are in this spot because the organization he built is so paper thin you could see through it. And that, with no question, is the accountability of the GM.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('152412','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('152412','Rich','I\'ll take that as your being as close to \"on the bandwagon\" as you\'ll get.
