In a recent column for SI.com, Jon Heyman names seven general managers who could be on the hot seat. Brian Sabean of the Giants, Bill Bavasi of the Mariners, Ned Colletti of the Dodgers, Jon Daniels of the Rangers, Jim Bowden of the Nationals, J.P. Ricciardi of the Blue Jays, and finally checking in at number seven, Mets general manager Omar Minaya.

“There’s pressure on every Mets decision maker after their epic implosion last year. Some recent moves haven’t worked, including the trade that sent Heath Bell to San Diego and another that moved Brian Bannister to Kansas City for Ambiorix Burgos. He also never should have replaced professional hitting coach Rick Down with Rickey Henderson, who mostly played cards as a coach. Although generally, the Mets have improved during Minaya’s tenure, thanks to some big-ticket signings, especially the importing of Carlos Beltran, to go a long with homegrown stars David Wright and Jose Reyes. Minaya also has an excellent relationship with the team-owning Wilpons, which can’t hurt.”

I seem to think Omar has at least one or two more seasons with this team after 2008 before they would even think about making a change at the position.
