That might be the one thing that would cause me to watch other teams.

Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?

The guy thinks high OBP means "clogging up the bases."

No freaking thanks.

Please tell me it is not Baker. We might as well get Homer Bailey ready for the disabled list if Baker is hired.

Dusty Baker is a great hitting instructor.

Dusty Baker is a killer of pitching staffs.

Just say no.

Hopefully, this is just Scoop adding two and two and getting five.

His connecting-the-dots can sometimes be a little off.

The voice of reason speaks. John Fay's not the greatest forecaster.

Still scary, nonetheless.

*however, I can see the spin now-proven winner, knows how to play the game, been in the world series, owns 12,000 toothpicks

Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?

There's no saying that Dusty coudn't win me over...because anybody can...

However, if Dusty is still Dusty, I don't see how it'd be possible....



Ok, winning may do it....but again, if Dusty is still Dusty, how is that possible?

Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?

I'm used to disliking Reds managers, but this is taking it to a whole new level.

That's along the lines of what I thought, too. Just because this is the only interview a reporter finds out about doesn't mean it's the only interview that's being conducted.

True..but it's the first real sign of an acual living, breathing human being in consideration...instead of just "GM speak"

Hopefully, it's nothing more than fufilling the requirements of Major League Baseball in interviewing minority candidates.

However, if there really wasn't interest in Dusty, why would you bring in a guy of his name calibre as your minority candidate?
