I've heard that Bell has the job. They're just waiting to announce it. 4 year contract. I've heard good and bad about him. Has a decent combination of outside and inside organization experience. Was well below 500 as a manager in the Reds minor league system. Still, he was a desired commodity by other teams in need.
I kind of wanted Rocco Baldelli or Hensley Muelens. Both are guys who've been groomed for awhile with very good reputations for analytical approaches to the game.
If Bell gets a shot at picking his own staff, then I'm definitely down with the hire. If it's Bell with Darwin and Riggleman coming back as pitching and bench coach, then piss on it. At that point Bell is just another monkey-boy for the shitbag nepotism-heavy front office/ownership that has screwed this team up for the last half-decade.
