(Photo: Kareem Elgazzar/The Enquirer)It’s been a little over two weeks since the Cincinnati Reds fired Bryan Price. The wink of an eye in baseball time.
But long enough to show that Price was not the problem. The Reds have played better under Jim Riggleman, but that’s mostly because they’ve hit better. Riggleman would be the first to tell you that and the first to say that he has nothing to do with the hitting.
A manager has some effect on a team, but the largest part of the equation of any team is the players. I said when Price got fired, and I’ll say it now:
The Reds don’t have enough good players.
