Dont know much about Naehring but to put Jay Bruce's name on your resume on the way out is weak. Yes Bruce could turn into a great player, but his talent is head and shoulders among others. For the reds to be successful they have to consistently mold good baseball players out of their second tier prospects. This organizations failings are largly due to its inability to produce consistent back end starters, effective middle relievers, and quality backup or bench players.
