Nothing against Ricco but I hope it's not him because I fear he will be a continuation of what we have, he's been with the Mets for a long time. Billy Beane gets mentioned , it's mandatory . Here's what I want from the next GM , 1) The ability to choose his own manager and coaches , 2) The ability to choose his own GM staff 3) The ability to implement his vision for how the org should go forward What are the things you think are vital for a new GM to have control over? The only way I want a coach first then GM if it's Bobby V getting the job, otherwise I would like a new GM to get to choose his manager, I think that's important.
