Barry is the past ... Machado MAY be the future.
Having or not having Larkin on the 2005 Reds will NOT be the difference between winning and losing.

Longer than I thought....about 15 or 16 minutes or so
No offense, but Larkin couldn't stay healthy enough to beat out Ray Olmedo, let alone Lopez.
no offense, but Larkin beat out several shortstops for the All Star team
Has there ever been a more clueless organization in terms of pr and the like? It seems they always look bad even if they are right because of the way they approach their fans and the media.
Beat out? He was handed the selection on a silver retirement platter.
And it's amazing how quick and easy people are to turn on players. It's one thing to approach this as good for the team that he isn't back, it's a whole other thing to be cheering and forget completely what Barry did for this organization. I'm glad you guys just throw things to the curb when you are done with them.
It's not like he was competing with the Jeters, Tejadas, Garciaparras, etc. of the world in the NL this year.
Besides Edgar Renteria and Jack Wilson, the NL shortstop crop was nonexistant.
You're definitely the Mr Red that this organization deserves
The reason is lasted that long was because guys like Daugherty and Popovich kept asking the same questions over and over again trying to get O'Brien to badmouth Barry or say something "quoteworthy" for their stories.
That's their job
1) he was named as a sentimental pick in what was thought to be his final year
and
2) he was injured for much of the second half of the season.
This is the same thinking that resulted in Jimmah Haynes getting a two-year deal after a so-so season. It's time this organization expect more out of their players.
Even Mr. Red knew it was time to cut ties with Barry. Hell, that idiot Gapper knew too.
