Willie Randolph: Moronic Fool

Willie Randolph is planning to bat David Wright eighth.

Not light-hitting Doug Mientkiewicz or strikeout prone Mike Cameron, but Wright.

Willie's rationale: "You have to pay your dues."

After Wright batted .293 with 14 homers, 40 RBIs, and 17 doubles in just 263 at bats last year, Randolph plans to demote him to the No. 8 hole, in front of the pitcher, where he will get nothing to hit.

Perhaps Randolph views the No. 8 spot as akin to hitting ninth in the AL. But the No. 9 hitter in the AL is hitting in front of the leadoff man, and therefore has the ability to develop and be productive.

I am unhappy with a number of recent personnel moves by Randolph and GM Omar Minaya, but this is complete idiocy.

I also am completely fed up with the incompetence of the leadership of the teams I waste my time following and rooting for. The Rangers have been pathetic for years, with this lockout season their best since 96-97. The Jets are coached by someone who chants slogans but is deficient in game management and common football sense. The Nets had a very good team that was dismantled by ownership. The Mets have been awful, were hoped to be on the right track, but apparently will choose to waste the talent of one of their potential stars.
