Omar Minaya Puts WBC Ahead of Mets

SS

From Newsday:

"I just don't believe in denying a player the opportunity to represent his country," Minaya said. "I could never stand in the way of that. That's something that's very special. We're all committed to it. Oliver Perez is the best pitcher in Mexico right now. How can you tell a player, the best pitcher in the country, that he can't participate?"


Like this.

We pay you $36 million dollars to pitch for the Mets.  Not Mexico, not your friend's softball team, not even on the Wii.  Protect that arm.

I wonder if Omar truly believes what he said, or if the Selig mafia got to him.

"We always have to take into consideration what's in the best interest of the game, what's in the best interest of the players. We just can't think about ourselves only. That's just not the right attitude."

I would prefer to have a General Manager who puts the Mets first.

Me too, at least in the case of Oliver. He needed the continuous work more than anyone. Lets not forget that the WBC is a Latin showcase which is fine by me but the team that pays the players is not Mexico or the other teams who participate in the "Classic" A lot needs to be changed about this event before it has the right to be called Classic.
