"Sources say longtime scout Sandy Johnson has agreed to return to the Mets as VP of scouting to continue assisting embattled general manager Omar Minaya after suggesting for weeks he was likely to retire, and some Mets officials believe the unusual effort made to retain Johnson is another sign of diminishing faith in Minaya.
Mets COO Jeff Wilpon is said to have thought it imperative that Johnson, who had a big hand in building winning teams in Texas and Arizona, return to boost the front office. Johnson had previously expressed to the Mets that he was likely to retire. Johnson was said by one club official to have been given basically "a blank check" to return, signaling the Mets' desperation to keep him. The vast majority of Mets scouts had their contracts renewed within the past few days with no raise, said to be the result of a bad economy and the team's poor performance (SI.com)."
My question is....WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY STILL HAVE A JOB?????????
Honestly, there is no reason why he is still in charge. The Mets have been horrible, and Minaya can take a blame for a lot of it as they signed no starting pitching, and he has given out some bad contracts. Sometimes I am just amazed how some teams will just stick by a guy without any results...
