Around SBN: Interview With UMD Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow

Jose Valentin

So everyone knows how we invited Jose Valentin to Spring Training last year and he just wasn't that good as a player anymore. He played in the minors for a little bit I think, but he is pretty much done playing now at age 40. Everyone was talking about bringing him back as a coach later on. Do you think later on is now? Everyone talks about all these players who have grission but aren't good players. They would all make good coaches. But didn't he say before that he wanted to coach and he wanted to come back to the Mets? I would love to have Jose Valentin (and his mustache) back.

Let's make Mike Piazza a coach

and then, after a few weeks, convince him to be our catcher again.

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

Rec'd

Should be better than Santos anyway.

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

What kind of coach?

I mean, you can’t hire a guy and say, “okay, go teach somebody something”.

Well they just hired that Jauss guy but I would like Valentin to be the bench coach

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

Who would be Muttley, to Valentin's Dastardly? I've always wondered...

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
