May 27, 200719 yr Author But Francona has one (several) now, including a ring. He also has a $150 million plus payroll to work with...
May 27, 200719 yr So then what's the answer. Gardenhire gets more from his team that pays only $2 million more than Cincinnati. The Reds are getting thumped by a team with a payroll that is $30 million less than them. Cleveland and San Diego also have smaller payrolls. But if you take those teams and rank their managers, I'm sure I know where Narron will finish

Home grown talent in the field and on the hill...
May 27, 200719 yr So you think Bucky Dent is the answer??? He'd be the manager for the rest of the year. Come the offseason, they could hire a guy like Girardi, Mache, Johnson, etc. I don't understand why you think Dent would be there for the long term.

May 27, 200719 yr So you think Bucky Dent is the answer???No, but you seem intent on blaming everyone except Narron. It's not like those teams have a ton of better players than the Reds.

May 27, 200719 yr Author I just don't see what firing Narron does to make anything better. Change for the sake of change isn't often a good idea...
May 27, 200719 yr I just don't see what firing Narron does to make anything better. Change for the sake of change isn't often a good idea... At the end of the year do you think it's a good move?
May 27, 200719 yr I just don't see what firing Narron does to make anything better. Change for the sake of change isn't often a good idea... I see your angle. But of those teams I mentioned, would they have a better record today with Narron at the helm?
May 27, 200719 yr I just don't see what firing Narron does to make anything better. Change for the sake of change isn't often a good idea...Then who is to blame, since you were singing the praises of all the middle reliever and pitching acquisitions, that Krivsky brought on. I like Narron also, but if these professionals aren't going to respond, their are two choices.....(1) Players get packing or (2) Coaches get packing.... Something needs to be done or this season, has ended in May.
May 27, 200719 yr 1) Narron's not the biggest problem. 2) Narron will be fired. 3) The Reds will still suck. 4) In 3 years we'll be doing this again.
