Link to Mets360: An interview (with links!) with John from Albany

Brian Joura of Mets360 was nice enough to be interviewed for the site here at Mets News and Links that I returned the favor.

Here is a brief sample:

From outside of the white lines, what do you think the Mets have to address, whether that’s coaches, executives, staff or any non-player role?

Bring back Fonzie (fired after he won a championship in Brooklyn) and Endy Chavez (fired last month) to coach a minor League team.  They both preached the running game and Brooklyn was extremely fun to watch when they were there. 

The next thing is that they need to “Buck” up the minor league managers.  I see the minor league players make way to many fundamental mistakes that a Buck team would not.  They need to clone Buck so the minor league players will be ready when they get to Queens and the Mets will have an heir apparent when Buck decides to hang it up one day. 

Also, they have to do something with that Brooklyn site.  As Ex-Dodger fans, the Wilpons desperately wanted a presence in Brooklyn but that stadium is right on the ocean.  Fly balls hit to right field die on the warning track.  Also, it is an astro-turf field and the Mets play on grass.  Hmm, there was a team in Albany that was contracted with a similar size stadium and a great facility at a community college – maybe Steve can move the team there – oh and they play on grass as well.
