Eddie Coleman was a guest of Chris Russo’s today on WFAN.

Eddie was asked if the now infamous Tony Bernazard is with the team and speaking with the media.

“He’s here (in Colorado), we haven’t talked to him as a group but he’s here to be talked to, he hasn’t held a press conference though.”

Eddie spoke regarding media reports of Jerry Manuel backstabbing or politicking for Willie’s job.

“I don’t think Manuel was trying to get Willie’s job…Willie felt that people knew stuff that he didn’t know but I don’t think Manuel’s is that type of guy.”

Eddie detailed some of things Manuel plans to implement.

“The next obstacle is Carlos Delgado, two things Manuel has stressed is resting guys and fluidity in the line-up and I think if he’s not hitting, he wont be in the line-up.”

Eddie gave some insight regarding players and their reaction to the change.

“I think the players know it’s on them now…they are associated with the collapse and now the slow start.”

Eddie’s opinion of Manuel.

“I like Jerry I think he’s a good man, he’s a good manager, he’s a guy who can motivate this bunch and more important he thinks he can.”

Eddie also said he spoke to Tori Hunter, now with the Anaheim Angels, and Hunter said this is the time of year where Johan Santana ‘really starts to kick it in’.
