I really wish the Reds had waited to decide O'Brien's and Narron's Fate. We could have been looking at Ken Macha for manager and the man who broke the curse in Boston and has the experience of making the big deals as our GM.

Macha would be OK.
I wouldn't want DePodesta.
I would like having Theo.

Oh well guess theres still Lou Pinella who you could bring in and pretty much guarentee 10 more wins. Plus hes managed Griffey before and showed his metal with Tampa and still has the strong desire to win.Originally Posted by Providence A's

How sweet it would be to have Sweet Lou back! I miss having his great managing and fiery attitude around.

Epstein has to be out of our league, that is unless of course the new owners realize that cash spent on talent at the top usually translates to talent on the field (Notice anything about the Reds coaches and GM's as a whole? *hint salary*) Of course though I would love to pick him up, but again I think the competition will be steep.
I know CRF will disagree with me (and I understand many of his reasons) but I would love to bring in DePodesta just like I wanted to before we brought in the inept O'Brien. If the new owners had any brains, they would bring him in and allow him to turn Cincy back into a winner which I truly believe he can do. It's going to be quite a scary offseason with O'Brien in charge and a rising slugger getting a rising salary. Hopefully he will be taken out before damage is done.

I wanted Krivsky then and I still wouldn't mind having him now. He would be a great one to replace O'Brien when the new owners dump him, IMO.

Krivsky would be choice after DePodesta, I wouldn't doubt him to help rebuild our farm and get more quality pitching prospects into the system.

Krivsky would be another awesome choice. I agree. I think any of these guys is a step up on DanO. But we are just dreaming now. Too much opportunity too late.
Unless the new ownership group decides to clean house and put their guys in.

Seriously any Reds fans here who believe in some deity/deities, send your prayers out that this new ownership group will put the right guys in charge.
