OK, it's official, we now have a GM who cares about what the fans think and that's great. And what with Oliver Perez finally gone, we can now move on from the stench that Omar Minaya and his horrible signings left here. Still, with all the Mets second baseman problems and their seeming distrust of giving Daniel Murphy the gig, why hasn't Sandy Alderson called David Eckstein? The guy is only 36, was the starting shortstop for two World Series champions, gutsy, hardly strikes out and judging from his stats last year, can still play. To me, this is an obvious move--indeed, it's still mind-boggling to me that Omar never looked into signing Eckstein when he was available. Unless Eckstein is somehow also responsible for Fred Wilpon's current financial woes, why the Mets continue to ignore him just makes no sense.
