Last week, Omar Minaya made appearances on two talk radio shows so he could defend himself against the allegations that he was “Latinizing” the Mets with his recent signings.  Fortunately, several owners came to his defense and discussed how absurd those allegations are.

Carlos Delgado, Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez were all excellent pickups.  You’re talking about three of the best players at their position in the entire league.  And they also happen to be Latin players.  Minaya is trying to improve the Mets to the best of his ability and over the last two years, he’s done an outstanding job.  The Mets, at least on paper, are the team to beat in the NL East and in my (biased) opinion, they’re the favorites in the National League to play in the World Series.  He should be commended, not criticized.
