Uh Oh...Dan Warthen might have something to say about that.
I heard throughout the 2010 season how much respect the players had for Warthen as their pitching coach. I have to admit, with the exception of one pitcher whose name shall never appear on this blog (unless he gets traded), Warthen seemed to be a good thing for the Mets pitching staff.
I wouldn't mind Dave Wallace though. He was, after all, the Mets pitching coach in 1999 and 2000, the two greatest years I've had as a Mets fan, and the two closest years I've ever had to seeing them win it all (Yes, I was alive in '86, but being 8 months old at the time, I can't say I was all that interested).
Wallace spent 17 years with the L.A. Dodgers organization, much of that time was during Terry Collins tenure.
According to Rubin, if the Mets were to go with Wallace, Warthen may have the option of being the team's minor league pitching coordinator.
Next few months should be interesting. At least I hope they are.
