I thought Rick Hahn and Sandy should be the finalists. I think Rick Hahn would be a great GM for the Mets as tim pointed out because of the recent success of AA and Jed Hoyer. But please not Byrnes.

Although Hahn would make an awesome GM, he has consistently stayed loyal to the White Sox, and I think he is the heir apparent there if Kenny ever jets or gets fired.

I think he should be the GM somewhere.

Please God, no Brynes.

I’m a Mets fan living in AZ and I sure as hell hope they don’t hire Byrnes!

i really don’t understand why Brynes is a finalist over Hahn

Did you interview them?
mrmet128

Sandy Alderson will get the job, 95% sure. The Wilpons only mentioned Josh Brynes so they can sound like their making intelligent choices.

I tend to agree, but I don’t think the Wilpons would recognize an intelligent choice if it came and smacked ’em upside their heads. With the playoffs on, think this is just an opportunity for them to cultivate the perception that they are choosing oh-so-carefully, while they wait for the most strategic [MLB-sanctioned] time to make their announcement – for the most impact. So Byrnes is probably just “window-dressing.”

Alderson isn’t an intelligent choice?

I think he means that they added Byrnes (dumb choice) to compare against Alderson (smart choice)

Don’t like that Byrnes is one of the two finalists. Though it seemed like Alderson was a lock as soon as he expressed interest and Selig convinced him to interview.

Give the job to Eric Byrnes
