Buck Showalter back to the Show?

Joe Girardi has told intermediaries he would be willing to listen if the Mets job opens, according to an industry source, and Buck Showalter — another accomplished manager with a New York pedigree — is somebody general manager Brodie Van Wagenen likes and considers capable of making a splash, according to another source. But the Mets in recent managerial changes have also largely avoided giving serious consideration to big names.

Of course the Mets would go with an old school retread manager.

Na. As the whole baseball world watched a very critical game for us, Buck put in Ubaldo instead of Britton. The End.

I'd find this horrifying as a Pirates fan.

If the Pirates hire him for that job they are even more lost than I thought. Of course Buck having interest does not mean Pittsburgh does.

The Pirates will not pay Buck what he wants.   He can earn more in the booth.

Overall I'm happy with Elias.  It's just some stuff on the edges that irk me.  That would be true of anyone that didn't do things exactly as I wanted. 

Most of my questions deal with ownership.

Basically the same with me. I’m certain there are some moves Elias has wanted to make but couldn’t.

I can think of only one... Mike seems to have had carte blanche with how he wanted to spend it. POURING money into computers and gadgets and what not. Facilities and academies. Only CD is out of his hands. imho

Davis and I left my self some wiggle room in case there was one other major $$$ move that ownership didn't approve.

This does explain things a bit.
