| Great, he can beat up Castros victims if they threaten him with the police. Perfect. |

| Senior Member | Here's some good stuff on Oberkfell. He has every bit the resume that Wally has, and he's done most all of it in house, and with no jail time to boot... Time To Overhaul This Coaching Staff Quote:

That's why I like much more as a permanent solution rather than an interim thing. A lot of his value to me lies in his intimate familiarity with the Mets' farm system what all these guys can and can't do. Seems to me he'd be great at putting together the roster in the spring, integrating those kids with the big league bullpen, bench and tail end of the rotation if necessary. You don't really get a chance to help remake the team when you're the interim lets-see-how-you-do guy.

| Super Moderator | Agreed on Oberkfell. He should be the guy, but they need clean house with players too. I don't see how this will change what is going on already (the divided clubhouse, etc...), hence the "interim" label. IMHO, the Mets need to do something even bolder than fire the mgr, something to serve notice to the players that the BS will no longer be tolerated. Too bad $$$ gets in the way of these things, because Delgado should be the first player kicked out of here. |

| If Omar could bring Willie in to manage a NY, Win-Now team with his impressive resume of 3rd base coaching, they can certainly bring in Oberkfell with his resume.

Willie, Peterson, Delgado, Heilman, Castillo (yeah, right), Perez...Reyes (if possible), look into moving Beltran... Keep Maine, Church and Wright (for now)...and of course, you have to keep Santana. The rest can go, if they can be moved. Re-stock with young, give-a-sh*t players, if possible. Then, whack Omar.

I think he should get the first shot (realistically speaking. . .Backman is committed to another team this year even if it is an independant league and Oberkfell is already employed by the organization) so we should see if he can make a difference with arguably the same style. | |

| Myers is a wife beater and is a hero in Philadelphia. Then again, that is Philadelphia....
