No surprise, all of us that have followed the Reds have waited for this shoe to drop for quite a while.

[ColonelCrazy]

Odd timing, but I like the move. Walt Jocketty is one of the best in the biz.

 

With that said, did anyone watch Krivsky get interviewed during the game on FSN the other day? He wasn't happy.

 

Will he remain with the Reds?

Took longer than expected, but it's about time...

I thought you liked him and his "plan".

The bad contracts were piling up, and Jockety is a better GM...

No doubt. But you sure gave me a lot of grief last year about him.

The rebuild of the lower levels was an absolute must, and I'd consider that task pretty much complete. I fully supported that task, and now it's time to win on the big league level...

I agree. WK did some very positive things for the franchise. Now time to move on.:thumb:

What will be some of the first moves Jocketty will make?

[letabrotherspeak]

I heard back in the winter he was charged with getting a 5th starter and he had to get it done...or something with the starting pitching...

If not he would be done in January...

 

Not unexpected, and Bob wasn't selling enough produce to keep up with the bothced contracts.

As much as they have eaten, they are still carrying bad salary. It will take some work to get that straightened out.

Jockety has move #1 on his plate this afternoon with the return of Ross...
