I would like to see Brenly too, if not how about Davey Johnson???

because at the end of the day, they still are the Chicago Cubs, and they will figure out a way to screw this whole thing up--Marty B.
I want to add that the managers attitudes have been very lackidazical and I think that has spread to this team over the past 6-7 years. They just don't seem to play with any heart and I think that is directly related to the manager.
I only want LaRussa if Dave Duncan comes with him. I only want Brenly if Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, and a time machine come with him.
What I'd really like to see is an interview process where each candidate is asked questions like "Would you ever in a zillion years bat Jeff Conine fourth?" or "Do you think we should let Adam Dunn go and replace him with Norris Hopper?" Anyone who answers "yes" gets the ol' trapdoor-to-the-laser-sharks treatment. This should whittle down the candidates considerably. After that, I'm thinking Thunderdome Deathmatch.

Tony stays in Stl.
Brenly stays at WGN
Girardi stays anywhere but here
Scioscia? what are you smoking?

Pete should get the job

The managerial search is starting in earnest, so I brought my poll up again. I originally voted for Joe Girardi, but now I am leaning toward Bob Brenly
DAVEY JOHNSON
KEN MACHA
BOBBY VALENTINE
JIM TRACY if he gets canned
I would say Oester also

Jim Tracy
Girardi
Oester
probably three of the worst choices....
The question was who do I want to manage not who is going to manage. The answer to who is going to manage is Pete because he will not demand a raise in payroll to take the job and he will work cheap.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
Don't be so quick to assume that Pete will "work cheap". Believe me, he won't. Pete will demand a higher price than the basic first year manager. He deserves it for many reasons.
Remember that Willie R. turned down a job because the offer was too "cheap."
He will work cheaper than Brenly or LaRussa and probably have less demands of ownership.

Lou Pinella; Clint Hurdle...never happen but as my daddy always said... go big or stay home!
Heres an interesting name - Bobby Valentine. Im not sure if I would want him or not but its an interesting name. What do you guys think about him?
