Listen folks, ever since Bob decided to fire Danno, we've been patrolling the waters trying to find a solid replacement. After nearly a week, one realization has come to my mind. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants this job. Apparently being the general manager of a Major League Baseball team is not exactly a high profile job to front office people around the bigs.
Wayne Krivsky? Are you kidding me? Who on earth is this guy?

Chris Antonetti? Again, can we get the JV front office kids out of the running here, and try to find a guy with an actual resume?

Is this the best the cat can drag in? The Reds have a half dozen special advisers, but can't seem to find a guy with any salt to fill out the GM position. This is not a good thing at all. Brad Kullman, who apparently isn't a big enough boy to deal with the 'interim' tag, is wasting more time talking to reporters about deals he's not doing, rather than getting anything done.

This kind of thing infuriates me. There's nothing I can't stand worse than when a guy spends the first week of his job letting everyone know why he's not as bad as the previous guy, or that he's the new guy in town, and everyone better know it. Just show up, shake some hands, cut some deals, and stay out of the news for the wrong reasons. There's a reason Kullman has that job right now and it's simple. Nobody else wants it.

I think I'm gonna go meet up with Ryan Freel for sushi and some drinks.
