Let me say that I don't mind overspending for quality players if the Mets can afford it. I just don't particularly like making every move possible just to do it when it doesn't make any sense for the team. I think he has improved the Mets, but that doesn't mean that I can't be annoyed by him also.

I def see that, makes sense.

I have mixed feelings about Willie also. From his interviews I like him as a person, but he also messes up the most basic aspects of being a manager - i.e., getting your best player the most at bats and getting your worst players the least at bats. For evidence, see lineups last year where Kaz Matsui was batting second and David Wright was batting 6th or 7th. Or Lo Duca batting 2nd today with the next 4 guys batting behind him.

I didn't actually watch too many mets games last year so I don't know much about his day to day managing. I do remember the thing about where Wright was batting, that didn't makes sense at all.
