Re: Miguel Cairo hired as special assistant to Walt Jocketty
Dusty will be tempted to put him in the lineup.
Seriously though, he's kind of guy who needs to be in the organization and is a likely manager someday. |

Re: Miguel Cairo hired as special assistant to Walt Jocketty
Miguel was down in it the last few years, he should be a decent observer for Walt.

Good for him! Really nice guy and I think he'd be a fantastic manager someday.

Re: Miguel Cairo hired as special assistant to Walt Jocketty
I remember seeing Cairo in the clubhouse in his first spring training with the Reds and thinking I hope he makes the team because he was just such a cool guy. He was completely professional, always working on something, making his teammates laugh, being great with fans, especially kids, and just being positive the whole time.
Very happy with this move

You can obviously see nearly unimpeeded (sp?) directly into the dugout and due to the sparce crowd you could hear a lot as well. His effect on that dugout was incredible. Everything mentioned in the post above can be copied and pasted here. So unbelievably professional in everything he did. From that moment on, I never had a single problem with him being on the active roster. Plus we should never forget that in 2010, Cairo played a HUGE role in that team getting to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. He was such a great injury fill in that summer.

He may also be the early leader to take over for Dusty someday.

Re: Miguel Cairo hired as special assistant to Walt Jocketty
Love this move -- I was wondering if something like it might happen. Also, love the stories of what folks have seen in person from Miggy. Great addition to the front office/mgmt side of the Reds.
