Who Would You Like To See as the New Reds Manager?

So who all is currently on the list of know interviews at this point? I lost track.

[Voice of Reason]

I don't know all the names. A total of 12 interviews and that is supposedly it. Now they are going to narrow it down for a second round of interviews with their top choices from the 12.

With this crew that will probably narrow it down to 11. I’m not even sure they know who or what they want at this point.

There's an emerging sense in the industry that David Bell could have the inside track for the #Reds managerial position. Bell is also a candidate for the #BlueJays job. Rocco Baldelli is also strongly in the mix in Cincinnati. His interview went "extremely well,'' sources say.

I wouldn't be upset with either choice.

Same here.

 

I think I've come around to the idea of being good with anyone other than Riggleman. I also think I'd prefer it not be a retread hire (i.e. Farrell), but as long as it ain't Riggleman, I'm happy.

Brad Ausmus, David Bell and Joe Girardi remain in mix for #Reds’ managerial vacancy, sources tell me and @ctrent. Team might be prompted to act sooner than later due to competition for candidates.

David Bell, Brad Ausmus and Joe Girardi are into the 2nd round in Reds derby, as @ken_Rosenthal and @ctrent reported. It is further believed those are the 3 finalists. Bell was reported as favorite here going in. All 3 r candidates elsewhere, which makes it interesting.

 

Sounds like those are the final 3. I would be very happy with any of them.

Sounds like Girardi is out:

 

Joe Girardi reportedly withdraws from Reds managerial search but remains interested in managing - CBSSports.com

[DanvilleFan]

And with Girardi out of the running my interest in next season has completely nosedived. Cincinnati screwing this up is going to deflate fans and send them to FC Cincinnati next year.

[Voice of Reason]

There is no way Girardi would have ever taken the job. I am trying to figure out why he interviewed.

He wouldn’t have came in for multiple interviews if he didn’t have an interest in the job.
