In a press conference tomorrow morning, the New York Mets will announce that their search for a new manager is over. Sandy Alderson was looking for someone with experience in a coaching position and someone with a good temperament for dealing with the players. Alderson found those qualities in Terry Collins.
Collins beat out some fan favorites fr the position including Wally Backman and Chip Hale. With his experience coaching the Angels and the Astros during the 90s in successful seasons, plus working out in the Far East, Collins seems like the best man for the job. He is also familiar with the Mets organization, from working as the Minor League field coordinator.
The way I see it, this is going to work out n two ways. Collins has been aching to get back in a managerial position for a few years now. He tried once before for the position of Mets manager, losing to Willie Randolph. Collins also lost a chance to manage the LA Dodgers, until DePodesta was let go. Luckily for Terry, we picked up DePodesta not to long ago. So either Terry Collins is going to take advantage of this opportunity and push the team to be big winners, if not by 2011, definitely in 2012. Or Collins is going to crash and burn.
Of course I wish Terry Collins and the rest of he Mets nothing but good fortune. I'm just going to wait to see results, before getting too excited about the new additions to the family.
