That doesn't seem like that much to ask, does it? Does it, Wayne?

Re: Mike Stanton has been told he's being let go!
Does anyone think that possibly Jockerty stepped up to make this decision?

Re: Mike Stanton has been told he's being let go!
A roster with Stanton AND Frenchie AND Milton not on it. Am I dreaming? or could this be the start of something magical?

Re: Mike Stanton has been told he's being let go!
This has been a long time coming and now it finally has happened! So long Mike. Enjoy the 3.5mil. I know you will.
Don't know that I say it was a "great job by Wayne" because I think this move was made by Bob Castellini with input from Walt, Dusty and Wayne. Wayne wasted a whole lot of his boss's money on Stanton. Can't see congratulating a guy for making such costly blunders in the first place. A very good sign to see the Reds cut-bait with a player who contributed little to nothing. I say- Great job Bob! You keep saying publicly that you're trying to improve the Reds and it shows!!! Great move when it becomes official. |
