Avery, a few points
First, anyone can do the job graves did. My guess is it will be wagner, who many had clamored for to close at the start of the season. I don't know how closely you've followed the situation, but Graves hasn't been right for years now. Ever since they moved him to a starter he has been wrecked. He said he finally felt better this year, but we all know he's been complete garbage this season. He's not getting let go because of the fans, he's getting let go because he has been miserable for the past few years. He took out his frustration on the fans, but no anger management will help that and he will never be a leader on this team.
Your comments on Griffey are kind of off. He has had TERRIBLE luck, but he gets hurt giving 110% and has given back a lot of his salary so the reds could be competitive. No it hasn't worked out the way we wanted it to, but he's a good guy to have around and I think he'll turn it around.
Kearns has been given his chance and hasn't performed this year at all. As soon as Wily Mo Pena is healthy, I will be glad to see Kearns hit the bench. Wily Mo was one of the early bright spots for this team and I think he will have a tremendous future.
I don't know what the deal is with our starting pitching outside of Harang. It is just abysmal. On paper, we should be a much better team. I can't really pinpoint the problem, I just know we have one.
