  BaseballAmerica.com: Prospects: Spring Training Dish: Mets Camp
Farm director Adam Wogan has only been on the job for a few months since coming over from the Nationals, but thanks to assistant to the GM Tony Bernazard, field coordinator Tony Tijerina and the rest of the field staff, Mets camp is running like a well-oiled machine.
Both Wogan and Bernazard tend to shun the spotlight, instead directing praise on roving instructors Edgar Alfonzo (infield), Lamar Johnson (hitting), Rick Patterson (baserunning/bunting), Bob Natal (catching), Rick Waits (pitching), and their well-established field staff.
BA sat down with Wogan and Bernazard to talk about the state of the system, how much developing players has changed since general manager Omar Minaya took over and a pair of outfielders that take a back seat to Milledge--for now.

  Carlos Delgado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He reportedly referred to Bernazard as "the highest-paid translator on the planet" after meeting him and Minaya for a face-to-face negotiating session at baseball's Winter Meetings.
Bernazard, who is known for his flamboyant antics around the Mets offices and Shea Stadium, downplayed the incident, which was ultimately resolved when the Mets acquired Delgado in December 2005.
Carlos Delgado was one of the first Puerto Rican players to agree to play for Puerto Rico in the MLB World Baseball Classic, representing the island.

Bernazard, who batted.581 with 32 stolen bases as a sophomore at Princeton (N.J.) Day School, was moved from shortstop to center field upon his arrival in Bradenton because the Panthers have a quality shortstop, senior Carlos Quintero.
Bernazard's exceptional baseball IQ should come as no surprise to fans who remember his father, Tony Bernazard, a second baseman with six major league teams from 1979-91.
The elder Bernazard, a special assistant to Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Donald Fehr, had reservations about sending the youngest of his four sons to Bradenton to play for Pendleton, the high school baseball division of IMG Academies.

 Mets' Bernazard intent on becoming baseball's second Latin GM
Ask anyone about Bernazard and they'll say this is nothing special, but Tony to a capital T: determined, passionate and charming enough to close the deal.
BERNAZARD, A SMALL, thin man with an understated yet strong presence, whose face often offsets a soft smile with a hard burn in the eyes, is watching batting practice, arms folded across his chest, and as he talks, his eyes rarely leave the field.
Bernazard has a secret wish, however, and it has nothing to do with dreams of running a baseball team, but rather with all this talk about a shortage of Latinos in the executive ranks.

 An Excerpt From "Pedro, Carlos and Omar" :: NY Sports Day - Independent New York Mets Coverage
Only Expos president Tony Tavares, assistant GM Tony Siegle, Minaya’s family, and soon, the commissioner’s office would be made aware of what had occurred, in addition to incumbent Mets GM Jim Duquette.
Minaya had hired Bernazard away from the Players Association, where his responsibilities during a thirteen-year stint had included developing a World Cup—style baseball tournament that would be named the World Baseball Classic.
Bernazard, a veteran of several Major League Baseball versus Players Association negotiations, kept checking through the peephole to ensure no one from Cuza’s side was eavesdropping, apparently a dirty trick he had encountered during labor talks.

Even if the New York Mets are, in fact, appealing to their Hispanic fan base, don’t breathe a word of it to GM Omar Minaya or his special assistant, Tony Bernazard.
Bernazard, who like Minaya has charisma as well as negotiating skills, is a likely candidate to be the second.
The Mets are a challenge, but they're a good challenge," said Bernazard, a key front-office player in the Beltran signing and in the current negotiations with free agent first baseman Carlos Delgado.

Rather than focusing on announcers Caray and Jimmy Piersall, or the threat of the team moving to Denver, the focus would be the team on the field.
After the break, the Sox traded 2nd baseman Tony Bernazard to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for the speedy Julio Cruz.
The ALDS also set the tone for what would be an unusually suspenseful post-season; while their first game was considered a blow-out, the remaining games saw the White Sox making the most of rare opportunities and hanging on to narrow leads.

 PUERTO RICO HERALD: Puerto Rico Winter League Is Island’s Most Underrated Show, Boxing Notes
The six-team league has an abundance of talent, from a smattering of big leaguers (Roberto Alomar and Tony Valentin will play from opening day in Santurce and Manati, respectively) to some of the hottest prospects in the game, including St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (Carolina), Wilbert Nieves (Mayaguez) and Luis Figueroa (Mayaguez).
One week after hiring Willie Randolph as the New York Mets manager, GM Omar Minaya gave the nod to Latin talent with the naming of Puerto Rican Tony Bernazard as special assistant.
Bernazard, of Caguas, who played with the Montreal Expos, previously worked in the Players Union as the Latin American player’s rep. He brings talent and experience to the job and he worked closely with Minaya, who was the Expos GM during the span of the team’s two-season stay in San Juan.

In particular, Delgado took offense to Tony Bernazard, one of Minaya's closest associates, for speaking to him in what one person called "street" Spanish.
The two men are Puerto Rican born, and Bernazard apparently assumed a tone of familiarity that Delgado considered off-putting and disrespectful.
Ultimately, Bernazard was forced to the sidelines, but by the time Minaya took over it was too late.
