PORT ST. LUCIE — When one clever reporter recently remarked to Buck Showalter that new Mets executive Carlos Beltran once had Showalter’s Mets managing job before he did, Showalter was characteristically quick with the comeback.Showalter has the right answer for almost everything.
And that was enough on that. From there it was on to all so-called support staff, how the replay guy is one of the most valuable people in the organization, how the female front office person is a terrific athlete. On and on it went. Showalter grew up in the Steinbrenner Yankees and was known for occasional Machiavellian tendencies in early jobs — we used to call him “the little general,” don’t tell him — but he’s smoothed out the edges by his fifth stop. He was always uber-detail-oriented, and still appears to have his hand in most things. The Mets made 20 changes in Port St. Lucie . He credited the staff, of course, and in reality perhaps just 19 of the 20 changes were inspired by him.
