October 14, 200718 yr Sounds like something someone else said?:confused: Ahh, but that Tom Verducci doesn't know anything... He should've said, "A guy with barely a winning track record and a knack for blowing out young arms..."
October 14, 200718 yr He should've said, "A guy with barely a winning track record and a knack for blowing out young arms..." 14 seasons and 9 winnings ones....barely? :confused: A knack that consists of 1. Again....:confused:
October 14, 200718 yr http://mvn.com/mlb-cubs/2007/10/14/2008-cincinatti-reds-year-in-review/ That is HILLARIOUS!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
October 14, 200718 yr The one potential positive is that Dusty brings about an attitude with this team. Previous managers, all fine gentlemen, had this team have a choir boy attitude on the field. I want some nastiness - some attitude.

October 15, 200718 yr Jason Schmidt, Kerry Wood and Prior. Again....Wood was already fried. Schmidt???? Dusty managed SF until 2002. Since then Schmidt has the following record. 2003- 17-5 2004- 18-7 2005- 12-7 2006- 11-9 2007- 1-4 Schmidt has 59 wins since Dusty was his manager, averaged 15 a year for the first four years after Dusty left, still think he ruined him? This notion that he ruins young pitchers, again, b/c of one guy. Is ridiculous.
October 15, 200718 yr He is the manager and that is that, no matter if we approve or not. I think it is a better choice than a no name manager that they will fire in a year and a half.

I want some nastiness - some attitude. Definitely. I was unhappy at first, but I'm going to buckle in and give Dusty Baker a chance. He really can't do much worse.
October 15, 200718 yr He is the manager and that is that, no matter if we approve or not. I think it is a better choice than a no name manager that they will fire in a year and a half. I think this is a telling stat. This is the first time since 1990 the Reds have gone outside the team to hire a manager. 11 managers in that time. 4 winning seasons at that time. Time to go outside, bring in some fresh blood and see what he can do.
October 15, 200718 yr He should've said, "A guy with barely a winning track record and a knack for blowing out young arms..." :thumb: I agree Mitts and I hope that we are both wrong on our feelings on this (I take it that you don't like it either). As for me ......I was hoping that it was just speculation and I "just threw up in my mouth". I would love to be proven wrong and have a serving of crow on this but jmo this is a bad hire.
