    Re: Time for a new 1st base coach

    I find it hard to believe he just made that decision this week... ST week.
    Lots of guys get the itch to go to ST, they've been doing it all their lives... then boom right as they have to go they finally realize this is the year they won't.
    Dunn can be that bad at 1B - Maybe the REDS suggested moving WMP there and he thought this is way too hard
    The other teams coach needs to worry about how "bad" Dunn is at 1st, not the Reds coach. One thing's for sure, Dunn will be standing on 1st with the new coach whispering in his ear more than WMP.

    I would prefer a "celebrity coach" for home games..much like the Cubs do with the 7th inning stretch...Salma Heyek comes to mind

    Call Barry
    Would be cool. They could also use a Latino on the staff.

    I think it also could be a great promotion to be "First Base Coach of the Day". Just drop your name into the box at the Stadium guest service area behind section 103 and one lucky winner per game will be "First base coach of the day"!

    Barry Alvarez, maybe? Okay, I'm not sure if he is Latino either, but he's not working at the moment....

    'course other thread says KGsr's interested, and if he wants the job, I'd give it to him.

    Sorry.

    As Barry Larkin was mentioned, that's who I was referring to.

    I know. The last post was a weak attempt at humor.

    SARASOTA -- Just got out of our daily meeting with Jerry Narron, and he mentioned four internal candidates for the first base coach job: Ken Griffey Sr., Ed Napoleon, Lynn Jones and Pete Mackanin.

    You know about Senior. Napoleon (better known as Nappy) has been in baseball for 50 years as a player or coach. He has been an outfield and bunting instructor for the Reds the last two seasons, working all of spring training and making occasional appearances during the regular season. Lynn Jones was hired this offseason as the minor league outfield and baserunning coordinator (replacing John Moses, really) after three years with the Red Sox organization. He was Boston's first base coach the last two years. He played outfield in the majors for eight seasons with Detroit and Kansas City. Mackanin used to coach the outfielders with the Expos, and if you see the post below, you know he has big-league coaching experience.
    Lynn Jones was Lonnie Smiths caddy in the 85 WS

    Man, it is so hard to be a first base coach. You have to be able to pat a guy on the fanny when he gets on base, spit tobacco, argue close calls with the ump, play cards with the manager on road trips....good thing DanO is gone as it might have taken him months to find a replacement.
