Comparing Jimmy Haynes contract with this decision about Barry Larkin is just stupid. Please give me even a little bit of correlation.
more than making the All-Star game?Originally Posted by BrooklynRedz
I'd settle for that
Can someone please explain to me why it's so important the Reds cut ties with Barry Larkin. Is it that important that Juan Castro stays on the team? Because I can't find where Barry Larkin is holding back playing time or a roster spot from anyone worth half a nickel.

I missed the conference. Anyone want to summarize?
"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women." - Nora Ephron
What? To get someone to say one thing that they can take out of context to jazz up an otherwise straightforward and completely sensible press conference?Originally Posted by Matt700wlw
Then don't rag O'Brien for how long the press conference was.Originally Posted by Matt700wlw
Are you John Galt or John Allen?
Good. They are far better off without Larkin.
I wasn't....I was just surprised it was that long -- I wasn't sure what sort of format it was going to be going into it - I thought it was just going to be a statement or something at first more than a press conferenceOriginally Posted by johngalt
Yeah, Larkin had been holding this team back from winning for years.
Definitely not John Allen. I wouldn't touch that job with a ten-foot pole.Originally Posted by Cedric

But I don't have to work for them. That's what amazes me. Larkin was THAT loyal, even to an organization led by Allen that doesn't appreciate him one iota.
It's a compliment to lark, not a slam.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
