Jon Heyman of SI.com was a guest of WFAN’s Mike and the Mad Dog today. Heyman gave his opinion on the Willie Randolph situation

“I like Willie I know him a long time. I just don’t think he’s representing himself the right way with this whole SNY thing. He’s got to keep his mouth shut. He’s got to have a thicker skin…I still think he’ll keep his job… I think Ian O’Conner wouldn’t do anything underhanded. I’ve heard him (Willie) hint about SNY before but I left it alone. People who witnessed Willie and Ian thought it was an interview setting. …I get some calls and some e-mails and I’ve heard race and things with the Mets before, with the Hispanic thing. So, its not that far off…the management is annoyed he should not of said anything …they told him and Omar its time to turn it around and turn it around quick. But I still think he has this year to turn it around.”

I thought Heyman gave the impression that Willie had spoken to him in the past about SNY and how they portray him. Heyman chose not to write about it.

It is obvious from this interview and from past interviews that Heyman likes Willie so the reporting Heyman did here about others interpreting the Ian O’Conner talk with Willie as a “interview setting” was telling.
