A Johnson/Ricco coup coming...
I'm not really sure why the Wilpon's decided to keep Omar Minaya, is it really his contract extension which equates to little more then what Alex Cora would make in a season or do they want a figure head who could easily become a sacrificial lamb if things go bad.It makes sense from Omar prospective to return, he has nothing to lose since his reputation is at an all time...
