Mets Bullpen

Our Mets almost had McNamee as part of their training staff back in 07.  Probably a good decision to stay away from this guy and his controversy.

“I went to Willie and Willie went to Omar, and it was nixed,” Down said Tuesday, according to the Post. “I think it was nixed because of the Tampa incident [in which McNamee was questioned by St. Petersburg police, but never charged, in connection with an alleged rape]. There really wasn’t much further discussion on it. The Mets didn’t want adverse publicity, and in retrospect they were right.”
