I just heard it on the evening news. He will be replaced by Walt Jockety. I will see if I can find a link to it on reds.com to post up on here.

This was really surprising because to be honest, he broguth i some absolute steals. I mean this decision is a bit too early in the season for my liking. The guy has done a great job improving our pitching and what not. I think his biggest downfall was not getting a RBI hitter for the middle of our lineup.

Hopefully Jocketty will not trade any of our good young prospects because they are the foundation of our team.

I am listening to Walt Jockety in the 4th inning of the broadcast. He said that the owner wants to win and win now. Walt is taking Krivsky's stance in saying that you have some great pieces in place to put a team together for the long haul.

It is a good interview. He likes our starters 1-4 and notes that arroyo is struggling, but still is an effective starter, he's not sure of the 5th guy. He likes the bullpen.

Now he is talking about the scouts and staff that are currently in place. He likes them, but wants to put more of the decisions based upon their reports. He is closing up with saying he wanted to be a broadcaster, but thinks the reds broadcasters are already set and doesn't think he can take one of their sports (jokingly). I didn't catch the very beginning of the interview, but I didn't hear him give Krivsky any credit from the part I have heard of it.

Now the announcers are talking about what exactly is the Reds plan.

They trade for young talent, yet they play old veterans. What direction is the team really going in, which I have asked several times myself.
