Leave to the Mets to make an
odd choice.
This wasn't the one I wanted for the job. I rooted for Kim Ng who I believe was the best candidate out there. What makes this choice so odd is that Van Wagenen has no experience running a baseball front office. He's a sports agent. It doesn't mean he can't do a good job. We'll find out soon enough. But, the Wilpons do what what they do best, curious choices.
