Wish I was in Cincy to hear that, oh well.

Prett cool the Kriv is willing to go on late night radio for an hour to talk about service-oriented architecture.

Is there anyway to listen online?

No.

If he says anything of importance I'll post it here.

This is actually TV, M2... it's on every Sunday after the 11 o'clock news.

Darn, I didn't read this early enough to catch it.

Some quick notes from the first segment.

Wayne said he doesn't see RCast cutting costs on the upcoming draft, in a non-large market you have to scout and draft well. The scouts will be coming into town over the next few days to put together the draft list. Said he couldn't overstate the importance of the draft.

Says the Reds need to get back to working counts, taking walks and using all of the field. Players are probably pressing a little bit trying to bust the slump all on their own.

Commercial time.

More notes:

Phil Dumatrait (I know I spelled that wrong) is probably a start or 2 away from being promoted from the Lookouts.

Character issues come into play when drafting and trading, but talent comes first.

When Homer Bailey comes to the majors he doesn't want him going back and fouth between the minors. When he's called up, he's up to stay.

When drafting pitchers they are going to look at guys with a simple delievery and arm action, nothing crazy to avoid injuries.

Commercial again.

BA on Brandon Morrow:

Morrow seems like a scout's dream. Owner of perhaps the best pure arm in the draft, he throws as hard as any pitcher in baseball, sitting at 96-98 mph with his fastball and occasionally reaching 99. He's a fast-twitch athlete with a quick arm and near-perfect pitcher's frame at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds. His delivery is clean and he repeats his mechanics well. Morrow's secondary pitches-a mid-80s slider and improving changeup-have flashed average to above-average potential as well.

You spelled it right.

I wonder if he meant just a promotion to Louisville, or maybe to Cincy? I like Dumatrait - he's a guy who could provide the Reds with some help out of the bullpen right now. He is particuraly tough on right-handed hitters, holding them to just a .521 OPS as opposed to .753 against lefties albeit in a smaller sample size.

I still like him to develop into a solid No. 3 or 4 starter, but the bullpen is where he could make an immediate impact at this point.

BTW, thanks R4L.

He was talking about a promotion to Louisville, sorry if I was unclear.

On Votto, he said he's got raw power, but needs to improve his defensive skills. Didn't sound like anything was going to happen with him soon.

[Ron Madden]

I have a gut feeling about Joe Mays too.

Thanks R4L.

Why, that's positively sane. Are we sure he's the Reds' GM?

[Reds4Life]

More. You love me, dont' you?

Wayne likes the 3 catcher set up right now, doesn't play on changing anytime soon.

He signed Hatteberg because he worked counts well, didn't strikeout much and put the ball in play. Didn't scout him much, but felt he could contribute in some way.

A caller asked about brining Casey back next year. He wouldn't comment much, but just said "we'll see".

He got Ross because of the injuries in the outfield and hoped he could stick as the 5th outfielder before he got injured. As time went on, he was just the odd man out and decided it was best to move him for all parties involved.

Another commercial.

[Reds4Life]

Wayne doesn't have a preference of high school v. college players when drafting pitchers, he wants to go with the guy with the highest ceiling and least risk. He believes you do need to maintain some balance though.

Paul Wilson is long tossing now, they will re-evaluate after the road trip. He thinks Paul might be going on another rehab assignment. He "hit a wall" in his rehab and they had to back off for now.

Final segment coming up. SOAS has too many commercials.
