Terry Collins: The Next Great Communicator

According to Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger, new Mets manager Terry Collins is being praised for his communication skills.

The fact that he has any communication skills automatically makes him better than Jerry Manuel.

How many times last season did we hear one thing from Manuel, and then later hear a different story from a player? Too many times, that's how many.

Based on the quotes from Mets players in McCullough's story, it sounds like Collins isn't afraid to tell a player what they are not doing correctly, and when they need to step up their game.

Maybe Collins is just what this team needs.

Personally, I'd like to see Collins ruffle some feathers. That doesn't mean he needs to act like some kind of dictator, but I think someone needs to disrupt the status quo.

It's time for some players to get off their high horse and face reality, if you are not pulling your weight at work, expect your boss to take you to task...or make you change positions.

Yeah, I'm talking to you, Carlos Beltran.
