The most obvious next step for Bobby Valentine is Flushing, says Bob Klapisch in a report for FoxSports.com.
According to Klapisch, “Jerry Manuel has two months, at best, to prove he can reverse the Mets downward spiral, which began all the way back in Game 7 of the 2006 NL Championship Series.”
Klapisch feels one long losing streak could get Manuel fired. “Question is,’ he asks, ‘would ownership have the guts to re-hire Valentine?’
…i want to give Jerry Manuel the chance to be successful, and i wish him the best… but, if he does end up being fired, i think i made myself quite clear, last October, here, that i want bobby to be his replacement… i know some people will like the idea of doing a total 180–degree turn from manuel with Wally Backman… but, i just can’t see wally getting promoted so soon… i mean, backman’s Cyclones do not play their first game until mid June… so, backman in Queens during 2010 doesn’t seem to make sense…
…as i explained in October, to me, valentine is more than a manager, he’d be a shift in brand, a change in the type of player acquired, etc., and it would have to part of a larger organizational shift… and, i’m not sure the Mets are ready for such a bold move, though they should be…
…by the way, thank you, klap, for the shout out in your report… much appreciated…

흠.. 그런데 정말 메츠는 어디서부터 손을 대야 할지를 전혀 감잡을 수가 없기에.............
매뉴얼이 헤매는 조짐이 보이면 바로 데려올 수도 있다는 것 같은데... 흠...
발렌타인이 신의 손도 아니고...
선수들이 멍멍막장인데 잘 할 수 있을까요......................?
