Reds hire Dusty Baker

edited for accuracy

 

as opposed to what other manager?

 

Reds fans are irate. I don't blame them. They made no effort to talk to anyone else. Apparently the only ones interviewed were Mackanin and Baker.

People were sick of Junior and Dunn's lack of hustle, so this won't help matters there. Even worse, Bob Castellini said they are probably re-signing Dunn and hinted at extending his contract. So much for those two first round draft picks.

I guess that means Jay Bruce sits or they trade him, because you know, can't live without the ultimate waste-of-space taking up oxygen in the outfield. Maybe he can make another 100 errors this year and laugh it up like he did in Cleveland this year.

 

dunn had 6 errors this season, fwiw -- and 64 in his career

yeah, 40 home runs, 106 rbis, 101 walks and 940 OPS really does suck. who would want that?

 

Yeah, but if Marty Brennaman gives the word, Griffey and Dunn are both gone.

 

Maybe he can join Tuffy Rhodes in Japan, because he sure as hell can't make it in this league. ...

 

Half the time Dunn can't get close enough to the ball to make an error.
