That said: I'm a Carter fan and I think he's getting screwed. He's getting screwed by the HOF for one because he asked for a Mets hat when elected to the to HOF. (Then) HOF President Dale refused to honor the request and wouldn't even allow carter to have both logos. Now he's tagged to a franchise that doesn't acknowledge they were in Montreal or keep his numbered retired.
He's getting screwed by the Mets because the Wilpon family told Carter that he needed to get some managerial experience before taking the Mets job. So Carter took a job with the Mets Class A team in Port St. Lucie, FL and watched Williot take the Mets job (sans managerial experience).
Carter deserves better. The Mets should bring him back into the franchise and place at the AAA level coaching under Ken Oberkfell. He's been a winner at every level and the game needs more quality people like Gary Carter.

I've heard negative stuff about Carter from people who knew him years ago, but in the end what matters is would he be a good manager? That I cannot say, but given he is a HOF'er and a catcher one would figure he is good enough that putting him on a minor league team would be a good idea for a team and to keep him in mind for a ML coaching or managing job wouldn't be out of the question. I mean, c'mon, Fregosi? Is there a team out there dumb enough to hire him to run a ML team after the years in Toronto?
