Beginning of the end?
(WARNING -- Crazy thoughts about to begin)
Okay, now that's out of the way. With the firing of Jerry Narron, the door is now open for the rumors to start flying. I know the P-D did a story on WJ and his 'disinterest' in the Reds' GM job, but I can't help but think the three-headed beast of WJ, TLR, and Dunc could be brought in together somewhere.
Add in the fact that the Reds ownership group has a lot of St. Louis tie-ins, and it becomes almost believable. Yes, Cincy has a good GM now, but in today's era of baseball -- what have you done for me lately is the norm.
I feel a fire sale coming on soon with the Reds. Not a Marlins variety, but definitely a starting over fresh sale. Dunn was booed yesterday after horribly misplaying that ball in the outfield. It is almost as if he is begging to be a DH. Griffey probably won't ever have a first half this good again, and I'm sure Seattle or the baby bears could find a place for him.
The bullpen... well no, not likely that there will be any takers there, but Cincy does have some flexibility elsewhere. With Freel coming back from the DL and Hamilton looking like the real deal, La Russa might be ready for a new challenge. Duncan would have at least one or two good starters to work with, and Bailey is a talented young hurler.
Maybe it wasn't as crazy as I thought?

Dunc
Sounds like a "talented young hurler" we have...ie: Reyes.
LaDunc have had one as such you speak of, and have managed to completely butcher him, imo.

Should have made it a two-headed story then...
I don't know about anyone else, but a change at manager might be my favorite off-season move come December.

Duncan
Duncan has commented many times that he is very glad to be on the same team as his son as he was gone the majority of Chris' young life. Duncan now has a legitimate reason to stick around with a club if La Russa departs. Yeah, he's been with La Russa his whole career, but now he's with his son. Which is more important to Dunc?

Are you suggesting we trade him to new york?
by kyle man on Jul 2, 2007 5:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
we were talking about
Anyway it has been widely speculated that if TLR left STL, he might go to NYC. I was pointing out that if TLR went to NYC, big Duncan might have a reason to follow.
