A Case for Yadier Molina as 2013 National League MVP

Nobody is a clear-cut favorite to win the MVP in the National League for 2013. Some names have been bandied about, some deserving and some not. Let us start at the top. Dodger ace Clayton Kershaw is said to be a strong candidate. If you don’t think the Cy Young Award is sufficient reward

Cincinnati Reds Sign Bryan Price to Contract to Manage for Three Years

The Cincinnati Reds ended weeks of speculation by signing Bryan Price to a three-year contract as manager. In spite of all the rumors flying around about various people considered for the job, only Price and Louisville Bats manager, Jim Riggleman had been on a short list.

Brandon Phillips for Dan Uggla? Don't Laugh !

Speculation has run amuck that the Cincinnati Reds want to trade their All-star Golden Glove second baseman, Brandon Phillips. Where it originated I cannot say assuredly. Cincinnati Enquirer writer, John Fay wrote that the Reds seem interested in trading him. The reason Fay cited was that the Reds have shown interest in Cuban phenom Alexander Guerrero.

Bryan Price Could Be the Cincinnati Reds Next Manager

This is the third managerial ‘candidate’ to succeed Dusty Baker that I have written about. I first expressed my own opinion that Tony Larussa would be the best bet. You can read it here if you missed it. That was followed by David Bell, whom I do not view as a candidate. Here is what I said about him.

This brings us to who many think is one of the two front-runners,

Does Anyone Think David Bell is Qualified to Manage the Cincinnati Reds?

Who is David Bell and why does his name continually pop-up during managerial discussions? In case it didn’t land, that was a rhetorical question. Outside of Cincinnati, his name is not quite the household word. Ever since the firing of Dusty Baker his name has been whispered in hush tones all over the internet.

TONY LARUSSA WOULD BE A PERFECT FIT FOR THE REDS

Apart from the fact that most Cincinnati Reds fans hate Tony LaRussa, he is the perfect candidate for the job which is currently available due to the recent firing of Manager, Dusty Baker. He is undoubtedly a Hall of Fame manager, already. Are you thinking he should just sit back in a rocker and rest on the ol’ laurels?

He is not in the hunt (*wink wink*) at the present time and claims that he is not interested in the Reds’ managerial position.
