Obviously a single press conference is no way to judge anyone, lest of all not a new General Manager who hasn't begun to put his imprint onto an organization. However, some of new Mets' GM Sandy Alderson's quotes were very exciting to hear, including the following:"I'm focused on 2011 and not things that are historical in nature."
"Offense sells..."
"This was a unique opportunity..."
"A manager needs to reflect the philosophy of the organization..."
"A fiery manager is desirable..."
"Our farm system is middle-of-the-pack and and we never want to be middle-of-the-pack."
and
"The baseball calendar waits for no one."
Alderson's funniest line was also his first:
"Today's gathering represents about 17 years of press coverage in Oakland."
LOVE IT!! Sandy was engaging, confident, funny and extremely well-spoken...a nice start, at any rate, to his tenure. The next year+ is going to be exciting, for sure!!
