I understand that you cant take it away from him, but I sure as hell dont have to believe its some great feather in his cap either. Sure, had he actually built on that then wed be having a different conversation...but thats not the case. The ONLY thing Sandy had to do was burn it down and build it up. He failed in spectacular fashion. The Madoff mess did not interfere with a rebuild.
Sandy was forced on the Mets. Not really sure why he earned the extension but I really hope nobody is expecting a competitive team. Weve got about another 8 years before we get that one shot in that one year.
I'm not leaning on the 2015 WS team any more than anyone who prefers Omar leans on the 06 team. Both GM's only won 1 division before the wheels came off. Neither one can point to a good track record. The difference IMO is Omar always had a highly competitive budget to work with whereas Sandy did not. I give him credit for the limited successes he had in tough circumstances.

Omar at least had a couple of competitive seasons after 2006 that unfortunately ended with complete collapses. But at least you could enjoy the seasons past Memorial Day.
Yes, Omar had more of a budget to work with. But Sandy was brought here to rebuild. Budget doesnt really factor into that. Id give Sandy credit if he was actually able to rebuild the team. He did not and now we are talking about going through another rebuild shortly after just rebuilding the team lol. Couldnt rebuild the team. His FA signings are a complete zero.
Neither GM were great. But Id bet on Omar over Sandy 100 times out of 100.
This is completely true. Mets wind up with guys like Omar and Sandy because none of the top GM candidates want the Mets job because of the Wilpons

Double-A OPS leaders:
1. Peter Alonso (NYM): 1.163
2. Cavan Biggio (TOR): 1.161
3. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (TOR): 1.155
Of course, he has Alonso hitting behind him, so he is getting pitches to hit. Ole Pete was 1 for 3 with 2 BB
today:
4 for 4, 1 HR, 4 RBI.
Crismatt had a decent start. Decent season so far.
