This is an excellent signing. Really like how this front office has built the minor league coaching staffs over the last few years.
Wow, the Reds minor league system is loaded with strong managers now. Hope Dusty is paying attention, seems to be plenty of guys ready to move up the chain with Bell, Riggleman, Griffey.
Getting a AA job is how Riggleman attempts to get into the good graces of baseball again after quitting his job mid-season last year.
I think there was a lot more to the story than Riggleman walking out. Ownership and the front office did not treat him all that well. He had a job in baseball last year -- it's not like he's been blackballed.Getting a AA job is how Riggleman attempts to get into the good graces of baseball again after quitting his job mid-season last year.
Great time to plug my site considering I live in Pensacola.

I don't think people were conspiring against him. But no major league team was going to hire a guy who quit mid-season because he wanted a contract extension and wasn't getting it.
Nice time to post a link to my blog about the Wahoo's.

Still find it odd that they haven't announced the HC & PC.
