Don’t Blame Willie
Many of you have already seen my article on Gotham Baseball Magazine titled “Why Willie Gets a Pass”. In short, I explain that I can’t put 100% blame on Willie Randolph for the way he (mis)handled the Mets bullpen last year, due to the fact that he learned bullpen management prior to PED testing — and in my opinion, PEDs had something to do with effective relief pitching.
If you agree, disagree, or have something to add, please post your comments here, or discuss the article in the Gotham Mets Forum.

A Mets fan since birth, Joe Janish began MetsToday in 2005 to provide the unique perspective of a high-level player and coach -- he earned NCAA D-1 All-American honors as a catcher and coached several players who went on to play pro ball. As a result his posts often include mechanical evaluations, scout-like analysis, and opinions that go beyond the numbers. Oh, and he's often a bit cranky.
