The Mets got someone who obviously interviews extremely well but remains completely unproven.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — If anyone ever doubted Craig Counsell’s strategic abilities, they can stop now that Counsell got himself a new contract with an annual salary about double that of anyone else currently managing, and that includes all-time great Bruce Bochy, who has four World Series rings.
Counsell’s deal goes where no manager has ever gone before, and even I, a charter member of the Craig Counsell fan club, wonder if they overpaid. To outbid the reported 18-time billionaire Steve Cohen is quite an accomplishment, especially when no one even knew they were in the running. But not everyone thinks it warrants a franchise boast.“They’re insane,” one rival exec said of Counsell’s $40 million, five-year Cubs contract. “They blew up the market, and for a guy who never won anything.
Mendoza may turn out to be a fine hire, but he brings no certainty when the Mets are team that can pony up for that without a pang of pain. Let’s face it, he was the bench coach for a team that had a “disaster” of a season in the words of general manager Brian Cashman, a team that didn’t exactly make the most out of its $275 million payroll.I’ll give Stearns half a benefit of the doubt today as he made very few bad moves in seven years at the helm of the small-market Brewers.
