I like the hire at least they went out and got a manager that has a little history with success. As far as the quote above, have you ben watching the reds the last ,oh, say 8 years? We see this anyways!

HA! So true, even under Mr. "I stress the fundamentals" Jerry Narron!

As for Jocketty, he's not turned down a Reds job yet. According to the Dayton Daily News, Jocketty may accept a position in the Reds front office, such as CEO of the team and he would be a step above GM Wayne Krivsky.

JJ, I really hope the Reds get Jocketty into the fold in some capacity. I have always had a lot of respect for the way he built his teams in St. Louis, and the Reds would certainly be better off having him on their side. I also like that Krivsky will not be leaving, either. I think that he has overall made more good moves than bad, and to have Jocketty and Krivsky making decisions together is a win-win in my book.
