On Tuesday, the Cincinnati Reds announced that they have selected pitching coach Bryan Price to replace Dusty Baker, naming him to take over the reins of the team for the next three seasons. That news likely comes as a disappointment to Ruben Amaro Jr. and the Philadelphia Phillies, who were hoping to hire Price themselves.

Price was said to be the Phillies top choice to replace Rich Dubee as their pitching coach. One of the strengths of Price was his fluency in Spanish, a skill that would come in handy as the Phillies prepare to welcome Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez to their rotation.

Current candidates are said to include Philadelphia's current bullpen coach Rod Nichols and Reid Cornelius, who spent 2013 as bullpen coach for the Miami Marlins. According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, also in the mix is Jim Benedict, the Pirates' special assistant to the GM who works with pitchers across their system.

I wonder if MDS' editors need a fifth of tequila to help them fix his copy?

Reid Cornelius...name test fail.

MDS shows why the tenure system that allows bad teachers to keep jobs needs to be done away with.

HOF hits .280/35/110 or better, and very few care.

HOF hits .225/10/50, and it may be time for him to head for the hills.

In between, and Igy and MDS will have a fun time whining about him like they do everything else.

not that it has anything to do with him being a douche but when has he ever hit better than .280 35 home runs or 110 rbi....much less all three

dook is 26 and has had one good month in his entire life....lets settle down

[Sgt PSN]

GRIT isnt a douchebag so hed never do that but thats an interesting question....im guessing hed get a pass

If Grit did this, South Jerz would be Cowboy Country.

what over the last three seasons gives you that kind of confidence in jimmy ?

gawd is old and deteriorated but hes still the most money player in franchise history.....i have no doubt that if he was ever in a big moment again hed have a one billion % better chance at delivering than lol brown

thats the same kind of thinking ruben has had. 

[ice grillin you]

not sure what resigning an individual has to do with comparing two players in hypothetical clutch situation

my guess is nothing?

[MDS]

jimmy is a god and thats why hed come through. he just would. it would come in a season where he hit .240 or something but nevertheless he would come through

hof had 6 homers in the last 3 months of the season, got hurt again, trolled the entire city and then complained about his perception in said city. im gonna go out on a limb and say he might not be right for this thing. maybe san diego or tampa would work for him.

[ice grillin you]

jimmy might not come thru....but that wasnt the question....the question was who would you rather have in that situation: gawd or domonic brown?

i think we all know the answer
