Terry Collins, Clint Hurdle, and Bob Melvin emerge as top candidates in Mets’ manager search
Nov 12, 2010, 2:16 PM EDT
Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports that “Terry Collins, Clint Hurdle, and Bob Melvin have emerged as leading candidates in the Mets’ search for a manager.”
However, new general manager Sandy Alderson apparently hasn’t officially trimmed his list to three names, as Rubin adds that “a potential fourth candidate for a callback is current third base coach Chip Hale” and “one potential additional interviewee is ex-Met Jose Oquendo.”
In other words, they probably still aren’t very close to deciding on a new manager. It does suggest that DeMarlo Hale, Dave Jauss, Don Wakamatsu, and Wally Backman are no longer serious candidates for the job.

Well I don’t feel so dumb now for saying there is no way in hell Wally Backman is getting that job. All the talk around here lately was telling me I don’t know sh!t about poo. Which is true, but it doesn’t make you feel good when it’s confirmed.

Melvin or Hurdle would both be decent in my opinion. I also feel Wakamatsu deserves another shot.

Nice job, Craig, you clearly just cost Wally Backman a job. And all he wanted to do was win! It’s all he knows how to do!
