Tim Marchman at SI ranked all of the general managers.

I was going to paste what he said about Omar but how about people reply with their guess on Omar before peeking?

29th?

Whoops. Using exclusively FanGraphs logic I just assumed Omar 29th and the Royals guy 30th. I (or they) was half right.

26. Omar Minaya, New York Mets

I’m not much of Omar fan, but I don’t know about this ranking… you have Pirates GM ranked 1 below Ruben Amaro and ahead of Omar.
For Jim Hendry (#16) of the Cubs he says “It’s tempting to overreact to a lousy 2009 and to heavily count bad contracts doled out to players such as Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley against Hendry…..” and he says that the Cubs have been consistently successful and can compete for WS every year prior to ’09 season… blah blah blah..And he ranks Ruben Amaro at #19.
So the Mets haven’t been a consistently competitive team prior to ’09 season…? I’m sorry, but I think Soriano and Bradley signings are far worse than Castillo and Ollie signings.

Yea absolutely agree on that. Omar’s done a better job than that guy.

More moronic, mendacious, meaningless drivel.
The team is imploding on his watch? The real question here is which is more pathetic, that SI would print this, or that one sentient being would take it seriously.

Jealous but I’ll be able to start soon. The nice thing is it’s getting warm enough at night to go into the hot tub.
Nice choice of beers, definitely one of my favorites. Have some Sierra Nevada Torpedo’s waiting at home.

The torpedos are some good stuff.
Fat Tire has their seasonal pale ale. my all time fav. Mighty Arrow Ale. If you like the hops, check it out.

Sorry a pela is like saying a whooping and a salsa is another way of saying the same thing. Think of salsa like someone saying they just wiped the floor with you.

I realize it’s just a meaningless spring training game but 7 for 17 with runners in scoring position is nice nonetheless.

Well, personally I think the Dickey singing was the worst of the offseason and I pray he does not make the team. I also think Green is pretty awful, so, frankly, these guys doing badly in March might help once the real games start.

I want whoever is good to make the team, whoeve rthat happens to be. I don’t car which ones figure it out.

No question. (f*ck, that’s a Manuel phrase..now I need to wash my mouth out with beer)
But there is always that possibility that he learns how to Harness the Terrible power of the KNUCKLEBALL, takes a step forward, and makes the past irrelevant.
Of course, that’s a terrible terrible long shot. And not looking likely. but if he doesn’t let up another run the rest of spring? Can steal us 2-3 wins or something? hey, you nver know.

The movement on a knuckleball is directly impacted by the elements and with the strong wind today I will give Dickey a pass.
All POPPs claim that Dickey and Green will be major contributors to the successful Mets drive for a World Championship this year.

Let me just say that your use of the acronym for Purveyors of Partial Positiviality truly makes me smile!
And my guess is that the wind HELPED Dickey!

Not according to MC.
Kingman 26

Gategem, you have watched baseball longer than any of us, if I am not mistaken—please look at Dickey’s career—he is without question the worst MLB veteran pitcher in camp, and probably would be average in AAA.
Based on what I am pretty sure I remember you posting in the past, I would guess that you have forgotten more about baseball than MC will ever know.

liking all these pen arms. Hopefully the vets come out strong, so they can stash the spares (green, parnell, etc.) in Buffalo.
If he gets squeezed out, send Parnell to buff, and make him the closer. And get him a tutor to work on maxing the benefit of his FB, and figure out what 2nd pitch (sinker/cutter/slider) works for him, then make him work on it until he masters.
maybe abandoning SP and focusing on late inning relief (build the perfect machine!) will turn him into useful RP, for later in the year or next year?
Kingman 26
3/4/2010-9:47pm at 9:47 pm (UTC -4)
What we have now, plus FMart, Davis, Mejia, Thole, Tejada, and maybe Parnell and Niese after a year of AAA seasoning?
Think about it–this team could be loaded in 2011.

oddest thing?
If they have a rough start and maybe 1 more media gaffe, it could be another GM that reaping all the benefits!

I get a wrong call on my cell today. I back search the number, what’s the name that comes up:
Jose S. Reyes
I kid you not. Bizzaro.

yes, GMJ was the missing piece to a Harang or Arroyo trade. Omar is brilliant.
