Well, I guess if you want to put a positive spin on the hit Mets vice president of player development Tony Bernazard has taken over the last couple of days it would be, there’s no place to go but up.

The bad reports about Bernazard continue to pile up and from what Ken Davidoff of Newsday is reporting he doesn’t seem to care.

Davidoff wrote that Beranzard hung around Angel Stadium laughing and joking with Jay Horiwitz during batting practice yesterday. When asked about the negative things being said about him Bernazard told Davidoff:

“I’m not going to comment on it, I don’t talk about what we talk about internally. I’ve got a great reputation. I don’t have to defend myself against unfounded rumors.”

This only seems to be getting worse and worse for Bernazard, every story paints an even more bleak picture than the next. Davidoff continues:

The truth, however, is that Bernazard’s reputation has taken a pummeling. Take this for what it’s worth, but Wednesday, I received two phone calls from industry contacts — the first, a longtime friend of many Hispanic players, and the second, a scout from an American League team. Both, unsolicited, brought up Bernazard, both professed to not know him and both offered the same sentiment: “I hear he’s a really bad guy.”

Davidoff’s column has much more and it doesn’t get any better. I’m not sure what the Mets are going to to about Bernazard if anything but it is not a feel good situation, that’s for sure.
