00:00Next manager of the Mets, are we talking Carlos Beltran, Alex Cora, Albert Pujols?
00:06Any other names we should be paying attention to, John?
00:09Got to be somebody, I think, with experience, certainly somebody with some gravitas.
00:14I mean, Alex Cora makes a lot of sense.
00:17I'm not going to rule on Andy Green being kept, although he did say that he didn't want to manage
00:22when he was given that opportunity this winter.
00:25He does have experience, right?
00:27He managed the Padres for four seasons, but I think Alex Cora makes a lot of sense if
00:32you could get him.
00:32That would be the name that immediately comes to mind, but there are other guys out there
00:36who have got some experience, Rocco Baldelli, Brandon Hyde.
00:39To me, it's got to be somebody who's got experience or gravitas.
00:43Pujols, he's got a little experience, and it was good experience in the WBC, although
00:47he didn't win, and he certainly got gravitas.
00:50It's not going to be some newcomer.
00:52They're not going to take a chance on a neophyte.
00:54The coaching staff is way too inexperienced to begin with.
00:57I like to bench coach like a Don Zimmer kind of bench coach who's really been around the
01:02block.
01:02I mean, it doesn't have to be around that many blocks, maybe, but I mean, to bring
01:05in a guy who's really inexperienced with a guy who's managing his first team, that made
01:11no sense either.
01:12Although, you know, in the list of mistakes, the player mistakes are nearly, of course,
01:16at the top more than the coaching, but to have the coaching purge and to get rid of guys
01:22who experience like Hefner and the others, and to bring in guys who really had no experience,
01:28that's a mistake as well.
