Dusty Baker is too much of grandstander and excuse maker for my taste, not to mention his tendency to manage like he's in Dodger Stadium in the 70's. The only thing that he sells that others don't is his ability to handle larger then life characters, well in a year (or less) the Reds won't need to worry about that.
They'll always have to worry about arms in that park, thus just walk away from the long shot who has no chance of saving those same arms.
