They used a lot of relief pitching and de-emphasized the starting rotation, which is how our pitching staff is currently constructed.

He made a lateral move from a division winner to a division bottom feeder, so that tells me the Reds must have really opened up their check book.

Excellent start to attempting to improve this trash pitching staff.

Yep, because the Brewers tried to hell to get him to stay. But assuming he didn't think he was paid like he should be. or he wants to take this challenge on to boast his already impressive resume. 

Literally wrote the book on pitching.

Worked at the power house Vandy with the who's who in pitching.

All the players that worked with him raves about his communication and how he works with their strengths vs fitting a mold.

Sounds like a great hire.
