Just wondering..The last player manager in MLB was Pete Rose and most of us know how that worked out. There is a perception Rose botched the job as manager, but it really was the gambling issues that was his undoing.
Not that I think it'll happen nor should it happen, but suppose that the Reds decided to go in the direction of a player manager is there any current Reds player who could handle the job? It's not rocket science to manage a ball club, but does require some understanding of pitching staffs and some other aspects I'm probably not thinking about right now, but it's far from impossible. The Reds seem to like touting out past players and teams to sell tickets in lieu of an actual competitive team so why not try yet another novel approach?
