REFUTED: Reds to hire LaRussa next week
Was at a dinner with John Allen and I was also chatting with one of the directors of PR last night (and she was HOT but that is besides the point). With the St Louis GM being let go last week I asked about the rumors about TLR and the Reds. John Allen had said that the Reds were going to make an announcement about the new coach next week to a friend of mine earlier at the party. She told me that there has been a ton of intel coming out of St Louis leading her to believe that LaRussa is the guy. This was a rumor over on BN a month ago and it sure looks like the Reds could have a new coach at the helm. She also said Kribsky is on his last year, either the Reds are in the hunt, or he is gone.
Thought I would pass it on.

Just make sure to keep him away from Odell Thurman, Chris Henry, alcohol and an automobile.

Yeah, right, and they're going to spend the money to have Joe Torre be third base coach. Let's face it, this is a shoe string operation. They don't need a manager, they need pitching and Castalenni doesn't have the money to go get it.
Until MLB views income parity as important, the Reds will remain an upper level farm team.

I didn't go to the link, but I wonder, did anyone mention Bobby Valentine? I mean the guy did make the Mets a contender with Mike Piazza and that's about it (some good players sure, but that was a team like what the Reds could conceivably field)....
I don't think Joe Torre would manage this soon after getting out of the pressure cooker in NY.
hell, at this point, I think Cito Gaston would be a better hire for the Reds than Dusty Baker would be.
