I’ve absolutely destroyed Sandy Alderson over the past few weeks.
Just hammered him — and rightly so, I firmly believe.
But credit should be given where credit’s due, and the Mets general manager deserves some serious praise.
Alderson turned New York’s season around on Friday evening when he traded for two legitimate major leaguers in Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson. Neither of those players are stars, but they are extremely valuable pieces. Both are versatile defenders and accomplished, professional hitters.
The move was a steal. Alderson did not give up any significant prospects; he surrendered virtually nothing.
