Franco: Mets Have No Leadership
By Mike Silva ~ July 1st, 2009. Filed under: Mike Silva.
Bart Hubbach had the following interesting bits of info at his twitter
Harsh words for the #Mets today from John Franco: “There’s no leadership there. They’re not having fun and everybody’s on their own page.”
Added Franco to Sirius XM: “Something’s not right there. Hopefully they’ll get it right soon [or] it’s going to be a long summer
Interesting that this comes out just a few days after Jerry Manuel was clamoring for offensive help through the press. We all know that Franco works for the organization and is friendly with ownership. Could he be communicating the perspective of Jeff Wilpon and company? Quite frankly, this type of situation is more a reflection on the manager than management. It makes you wonder how safe Jerry Manuel’s job is. The problem is that Mets ownership remains more concerned with playing corporate politics (badly) than building a well run organization. Any manager that replaces Manuel (Bobby V?) will have the same issues.
