O'Brien fired! Kullman interm GM, announcement at 5pm

Hmmmmm. Castellini stated that he had a list of 6-8 names; he declined to name them during the press conference but said each would be made public prior to interview.

Thus, I find it hard to believe that he shared his list with a reporter. Personally, I think Hal is guessing.

That I'm aware, only Brad Kullman is publically known as a candidate. Wayne Krivsky addressed the position as well, saying he's interested, but no one from Cincinnati has confirmed him as a candidate that I know, though I fully expect him to be on the short list. Most all the names floating around are pure speculation, though some (Antonetti, Wren, for example) are more educated speculation than others.

Its 11:16 AM, and I just cracked open a cold one!

You're a trooper

I fixed that for you.

Thanks Chip!

I told everyone on this board that the hiring of Dan'O was a Big Mistake. He had done nothing from his resume.

My question is if anyone has not yet asked, was Piniella asked to take the job when he visited? I wonder....

Lou was asked about becoming a special advisor. Lou told Bob that he couldn't take a position in baseball this year, as a condition of his Devil Rays buy-out.

I thought it was because Lou said he wanted to take a year off? Well, your post would answer my question. Thanks!
