Trying to figure out what a SABR-minded manager is.
I guess he doesn't bunt, hits his best hitters at the top of the order, and doesn't care about RBIs.
Whatever.

We might start the discussion by reading something like this.
“I think he’d be unbelievable. He’s as organized as anyone in the game, he holds people as accountable as well as anyone I’ve seen. He doesn’t buy into stereotypical things in the game, things that other people buy into that I don’t feel are relevant.
“Price looks at evidence. He’s a freaking smart guy, he makes his decision on reasonable evidence. Sometimes in baseball we go by hunches, what someone else said or the way things have gone in the past. He doesn’t do that.” – Bronson Arroyo on Price
I'm not a system player. I am a system.

Fay is now reporting this, too.
Well....eh?
Go Gators!
So that means Mack Jenkins slides over to pitching coach? Or does Ted Power get promoted to the bigs?
I'm glad that, at the very least, the Reds went with the safe choice, rather than doing something that could be potentially disastrous like giving Riggleman the job (or any of the dozen former Reds players with no managerial experience that have been mentioned here the last couple weeks).
Was not my first choice, but I'm a company guy...Congrats Price, you at least know the team and the farm system like the back of your hand. That's an advantage. Good luck...
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
Agreed. There was no need to go the high risk / high reward route this time around with a "name" guy or a radically new philosophy. This is a team that won 90 games and needed something new -- but not a wholesale personality change. The players know Price and trust him; that's already half the battle.
