His track record is to get to the post season. I've not questioned that, but I have always been concerned about the ruined youg arms he has left in his wake in San Fran, Chicago and even the few injuries we have seen with the Reds young guys.
I think the man has done a awesome job. The offense has in the top 4 in the league in all in the main categories all year with only the yankees, rays and redsox ahead of them. If anyone sets back and looks at it, he has done a heck of a job. He has definitely weeded out the winners and losers of the team.
Glad to see that the Reds Ownership realize that they have a good thing in Dusty Baker! I have a feeling that he will be around longer than the 2012 season!
