Whatever happened to Willie Randolph?

I knew he was out in Milwaukee, but I never heard where he went.

Tonight I was watching News12 New Jersey and I found out. He's a coach with the independent Somerset Patriots, the Atlantic League team managed by Sparky Lyle.

Wow that's a steep fall from grace.

I made a mistake in my original post. Willie was with the Orioles last year.

Still, big fall from any MLB team to the Independent Pats.

I guess he fell out of that tree, huh?

Especially considering he's coaching in the indies, not managing. If he really wants to be a manager, he should go to the minors and actually manage some games.

i'm sure him and Sparky are friends from their yankee days, but that's definitely a big fall for the guy.

He's not a coach on the team. He just came in for a day of Spring Training.

Classless Mets, firing him unjustly and now blackballing him from any gigs in organized ball.

That IS what happened here, right?
