Mets are interviewing a shitload of candidates for manager. Seems like teams rarely interview this many guys:
Wally Backman*
Terry Collins*
Chip Hale*
Clint Hurdle
Dave Jauss*
Bob Melvin*
Ken Oberkfell*
Don Wakamatsu
* = Internal candidate
A lot of internal interviews, which is fine as there aren't too many external choices I'd want (I heard Ken Macha mentioned but thankfully he hasn't set up an interview) plus I figure the new GM wants to talk to everybody currently in the organization.
Backman is the one I want most, but the only ones I really don't want are Melvin or Collins.
Unfortunately, I feel like Melvin is the front-runner along with Hurdle and Wakamatsu. Sounds like Alderson wants a manager with recent big league managing experience so they are the only ones that fit. I guess I have to trust him...but ugh, Melvin.
