January 18, 20188 yr #ILIYF I am still amazed at the amount of pro teams who either don't put a 3-5 year plan in place or if they do, they don't stick to it. There's no reason the Reds shouldn't be able to put a competitive team on the field after 3 years of rebuilding. What if three of your projected five starting pitchers are injured? What if minor leaguers you expected to be contributing at the major league level don't develop as expected?
January 18, 20188 yr What if three of your projected five starting pitchers are injured? What if minor leaguers you expected to be contributing at the major league level don't develop as expected? Next man up.
January 18, 20188 yr What if three of your projected five starting pitchers are injured? What if minor leaguers you expected to be contributing at the major league level don't develop as expected? Ownership put the team together right?
January 18, 20188 yr Yep, and he managed a team in the WBC as well. I mean if the Yankees can go ahead and fire Joe Girardi and hire Aaron Boone to take his place, surely the Reds can give Barry Larkin a shot. If this does happen, let's hope it doesn't follow the same script as Big Doggie.
January 18, 20188 yr Author If this does happen, let's hope it doesn't follow the same script as Big Doggie. I can't see that happening. As great a guy as Tony was I think he was in over his head from the start. He never got another manager's gig but then maybe he realized it too and didn't pursue another.
January 19, 20188 yr While he has almost no experience, Larkin couldn't do any worse than Price.... unless he finishes in double secret last place.
January 27, 20188 yr Hey!!!! Let's not forget Ron Oester....also,Sean Casey,Eric Davis,Billy Hatcher,Doug Flynn,Joe Morgan,Ken Griffey Sr....AND jr.!!!! Johnny Bench,Ray Knight,Davey Concepcion,Angel Bravo,Mike Lum,Ted Uhlander,Richie Schienblum,Terry Crowley,Art Shamskey,Don Gullett,Tom Seaver,Jim Maloney,Santo Acala,Tom Carroll,CLAY Carroll,Jimmy Stewart...AND ...of course PETE ROSE!!! bring him back! I think we have enough ex-reds in this group to fine a manager. Obviously I'm being sarcastic with this list,but my main point ......why does it have to be a ex red? and .... how are you going to feel if he flops,and they fire him after a few years? could happen. I say,look at everyone available,including reds,then make your choice.Just seems like common sense to me,but what do i know...lol!!
January 27, 20188 yr btw, Can't do nothing about ownership,so why even talk about it? That horse has had the holy crap beat out of him,to the point we need to get another horse!!! lets spare the horse gentlemen.
