Baker's career record (includes Bonds-wins):
19 years 1581-1432 .525
Baker with the Reds:
5 years 419-391 .517
Baker post-season with Reds:
2 years 2-6 .250
In five years he's only 24 games over .500 as this team's manager. But he seems to dial it up a notch for contract years. Handed a one-year contract....which I assume he will accept....I don't think he does any better, takes the team any further than this year.
It's way past time for the team to move on, IMO.

Great time to part ways. Dusty has as much value now as he ever will and would be a good bet to land another gig. IMO this team needs a manager that holds thenm a little more accountable for their performance. Patience is a virtue, too much patience may be a fault. I know Dusty is considered a "Players Manager". I'm sure people like Stubbs , Rolen and Cairo loved playing for a guy that would send them out night after night regardless of how bad they performance were. In my gut I think he will be back on a one year deal, but man would I love to see old number 8 (Joe Morgan) be named manager of this team for 2013.
