Re: Chat with Bob Miller
redstockings54: What do you perceive as a weakness that must be addressed?
Miller: We need to score more runs. Well, yeah.

Re: Chat with Bob Miller
Just for clarification, Miller only said that he expects all the Reds infielders to be on the team next year, not that they will all be starters next year. Dierkes assumes that he means the latter, when Miller clearly only states the former.

C: Hanigan
Back-Up 1B: Votto 2B: Phillips SS: Janish (perhaps Hardy for Weathers) 3B: Rolen Francisco LF: Gomes Francisco Dickerson CF: Stubbs Dickerson RF: Bruce Add Taveras because his 4+ Million will be as hard to deal as it is for him to reach base. You'd have to think a utility guy would be the 13th man and you could figure Pete Rose-ales, Drew Sutton, Chris Valakia, and Danny Richar. Wlad Balentine could be an option in the OF aswell but I've got to think the Reds Are not going to be big spenders on the open market and Gomes is almost a must sign!

Re: Chat with Bob Miller
In my, outside of Cueto and Volquez, getting Jay Bruce turned around and performin at an acceptable level is the most important priority in this franchise's future. I would get rid of Jacoby, find the best hitting coach I can possible find and make Jay Bruce his number one priority.
As a matter of fact, as part of their job interview, i would send each top candidate as much footage of Bruce hitting as possible about a week beforehand and then ask them what their approach would be. Bruce would not have a guaranteed spot on the 25-man next spring either. Unless I ws satisfied with his approach at the plate, he would start the season at Louisvillle and have to put together at least two very strong months to earn his way back. |

I know some have said that he has nothing to prove in the minors and I can see that point of view, but I think that Bruce seems so lost to me that I don't see him going back to the minors and just dominating. If he looks the same way next spring then I have him show some sustained success before he comes back. Kind of like the approach taken with Bailey. |

Re: Chat with Bob Miller
What exactly did Miller say about Taveras? All is see is the writer's thoughts on that matter? Also, as most know, Miller can't directly address a question about Hudson since he's under another team's control; tampering rules and all.
