I want to see what he does with that. The Mets offense is pretty much set and we probably will have a few extra bats on the bench.
What was Aaron Boones track record as a manager when the Yankees hired him?
How could I judge his track record before they hired Boone? How did you score him without any managerial track record? Which is why I will hold judgment.
As for Beltran, we know him only as a player and what other puff pieces that come out. Every new manager that comes in there's a certain amount of positive feedback from their old employers or past relationships.
Mets are a bit difficult due to our ridiculous coupon clippings from our owner and an unorthodox GM that supposedly meddles during a game to pull certain people out. So yes, my concern is still the same as with Mickey. How will he handle the bullpen and will our lineup make sense?
We, on the other hand, are a bit more challenging for a variety of reasons. I encourage you to read though the prior pages, if you have the stomach for it.
Oh, the pain.
