Mets: Ruben Amaro Jr New First Base Coach

Is this a good move? I have no idea. How do you go from being a GM to a coach? Yeah, I know that transition was a few years ago but how does it happen?

“Amaro, who spent the previous two seasons in a similar role with the Red Sox, was the Phillies’ GM from 2008-2015. After being let go by Philadelphia, Amaro made the unusual move of going from the front office to the field.”

Mets: Coaching Staff Shaking Out

I just remembered that I actually have a game used jersey from the "New" Mets Pitching Coach Pat Roessler. I got this down in PSL in the grab bag. (BTW, I told you I heard Kevin Long wasn't coming back to the team and I was shocked that they even interviewed him for the managerial job.)

Dave Eiland seems to be the new Pitching Coach( don't have his jersey) and also the Mets are probably keeping Ricky Bones as the bullpen coach. I like Rickey. Have met him a few times and is a solid guy. Let's see how everything else shakes out.

I Have Taken Over Metspolice.com

Yep. I did it Austin. It was me! Wait wrong guys...

It was me Shannon. It was me all along. I noticed that my cousin wasn’t paying attention to Metspolice.com today and decided to take it over NWO style.... feel free to comment over there about how much better the blog is since I put Metspolice Under Siege...
