Here's How a GM Sizes Up the Trade Market, by Steve Phillips
Think You Can Be GM? You Have No Idea, by Steve Phillips
Nearly eight years since Mets, on Phillips, drew the curtain
He remains just the same; always wrong, always certain
Hearing others want to run teams had made Phillips tired
Who could live up to Steve? (Who, remember, was fired)
For instance, one must learn to trade Jason Bay
When one needs Steve Reed; it is the only way
And let no one forget when he acquired Mo Vaughn
That day Mets fans saw current dynasty dawn
And though he tried trading both Reyes and Wright
He was foiled by GMs who were even less bright
So though since leaving Mets, he's had so much success,
For advice on my team, I'll take care of the mess
