Mets Name Their New Skipper: Terry Collins

Well, as thought earlier this month by just about every Mets pundit out there, the Mets Manager job was Terry Collin's to lose, and he didn't lose it. So presenting your new manager, Terry Collins.

From summarizing a lot of different sources at once (ie, these are not my original ideas, but the ideas of so many Mets people across the land that they have been socially constructed to be the blanket, uniform, Mets opinion of Collins) Terry essentially has some quality that every candidate for the job had. In other words, if you ranked the qualities the other managers would have brought (like passion, intelligence, etc) Collins would not have listed #1 on any of them, but probably #2 on all of them.

It's like when you build a player in a video game, an instead of making that character really good in one category (like hitting for power from the right side) and making other areas really weak (agility in the field), the Mets chose a Manager who is good in every area they are looking for, but not great in anyone particular area.

Once the details on his contract are released, and the information on the coaching staff is known, I'll have a full opinion on the hiring. It would be irresponsible for me right now to commit fully to an opinion without all the information.

Congrats Terry! Here's hoping for some rings.
