Last I checked they were 4th in the division, not sixth, adding a upper level closer to a team that led the NL central in blown saves last year should definantly help, hell, if half of those BS' were wins, the Reds would be in, plus they got a great manager in Dusty, the Reds are in buisness.Luke-85
Stop it. Dusty "I killed Wood and Prior" Baker is the worst kind of manager for the Reds. Now he gets the chance to kill Homer Bailey too.
I guess it can be seen as a step forward... You hired a below average manager in Dusty Baker, and spent your offseason cash on a closer... it's not terrible, but it hardly makes you first place contenders. Sadly you're a homer and wont realize it.Sports-Fan
I beg to differ, in any other division maybe, but hell it's the NL Central, the weakest of them all, remember, if I told you last year before the season started that the Brewers would finish second and Prince Fielder would jack 40+ homers you'd laugh at me, all I'm saying is that in the NL Central, every team is a contender, they have great power in Dunn and Griffey, A good pitching staff with a great Ace in Aaron Harang, a closer that is a top tier guy, a rising star in Brandon Phillips, and a for sure above average manager ( 1162-1040) is his career record, if you have 1000 wins and are a + .500 guy your above agerage, they have a chance.
PS: What team do you like?
They have a guy who dislocates his shoulder getting out of the bed in the morning in Griffey, a guy who bats .080 with thirty home runs in Dunn, and a closer who's been blamed for keeping the Brewers out of the playoffs this year. Oh yeah, and a manager who derailed the careers of two of the best young pitchers in Cubs history.
Sure, I guess they have a chance. After all, "NL Central LOL" works every time.
