I was a big SA fan from when the Haas family saved the A's, and Selig sticking him in Great Neck was a major reason I started paying close attention to the Metsies. I still have a lot of respect for him, but his last couple of years (once Selig was gone and SA stayed with the Wilpons) he turned into just another guy spewing Fred/Jeff's line.
So on the one hand I think he'd be a logical choice to oversee everything, and probably add a lot of value for Cohen that way. OTOH I don't think SA should be running the scouting/development stuff any more. I guess I'd rather have him than Brodie but I'd rather have SA in the top chair and 1-2 capable nerd kids running the minors and draft. Like Westheim says as long as Bro-dy is promoted to ticket operations manager in St. Lucie or something it should be an improvement.
