Re: Lou in 2011?
no matter what Votto did yesterday, Dempster should not have stayed in to pitch to him. Having said that, there is almost nobody on the face of this earth that dislikes the Reds current manager more than me so if it takes Piniella to send him packing, then I'm all for it

Re: Lou in 2011?
It may actually be better for the Reds in 2011 if Lou stays in Chicago....

Re: Lou in 2011?
I can't really see him coming back to the Cubs next year. They've hit their peak; they're aging and headed downward. Why would he stick around for that? Whether he wants to manage at all is anyone's guess.

Re: Lou in 2011?
Dusty Baker is a better manager than Lou Piniella

Re: Lou in 2011?
Now that would work for me.
Get Paul O'Neill back too for that matter.

Re: Lou in 2011?
Neither really impresses me. I think Piniella has been over-hyped because of 1990. IMO, he's been a "fortunate son" who has been in the right place at the right time to take over managing teams (Cincy, Seattle) that had talent that was mainly constructed by others.
Now do I think Rose would have won the WS in 90 if he had been manager? Probably not. Would never be so presumptuous. There is one thing I will give Lou credit for - Rose preferred a veteran lineup and wasn't known for giving the younger players their shot. Lou did. http://fanhuddle.com/cincinnatireds/...ncinnati-reds/ Quote:
