How About Some Good News?
- By Tammy Flanagan
- April 23, 2015
- Leave a comment
In 1974, Rufus and Chaka Khan released "Tell Me Something Good," a catchy tune written by Stevie Wonder. It was one of those songs that made you turn up the volume and roll down the windows, so I'm using it as inspiration this week. With so much negative news about federal retirement lately, I've come up with a mini-hit parade of good things that are going on.
Self Plus One Health Coverage
The Office of Personnel Management is in the process of implementing a new enrollment type, self plus one, under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program effective in January 2016. The plan will cover the enrollee and one eligible family member (a spouse, dependent child under 26, or dependent child 26 or older who is incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical disability that existed before they turned 26).
You'll have to act during the 2015 FEHBP open season this fall to take advantage of the new option. It'll be less expensive than the current self plus family choice. What remains to be seen is whether for a married federal couple (two federal employees or retirees), self plus one will be less expensive...
How to Prepare for a Retirement Storm
- By Tammy Flanagan
- April 16, 2015
- Leave a comment
As you probably know by now, there are some serious threats to federal retirement benefits on the table this year in Congress. GovExec reports have been keeping you well apprised of these proposals. Here's how National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association President Richard Thissen describes the situation:
The House and Senate passed budget resolutions in March that cut billions of dollars' worth of pay and benefits from federal employees and retirees. The House budget proposed $318 billion in "savings" by raising the cost of health insurance for all [Federal Employees Health Benefits Program] participants, eliminating federal jobs, increasing retirement contributions for current employees and, perhaps most shocking, changing the rate of return on the Thrift Savings Plan G Fund. The Senate budget, while less specific in how it would cut costs, still asks the federal community for $170 billion toward deficit reduction.
NARFE's legislative staff will earn their keep this year fighting such proposals.
Those of you who read this column regularly know that over the past 10 years I've been an eternal optimist. I've reminded readers time and again that few legislative proposals actually become the law of the land. While federal retirement benefits...
Don't Mess With the G Fund
- By Tammy Flanagan
- April 9, 2015
- Leave a comment
What is unique about the Thrift Savings Plan? Well, first of all, it's a retirement savings plan specifically designed for federal employees and military service members. Another notable fact about the TSP is its very low administrative costs -- 29 cents per $1,000 invested per year. For some 401(k) plans, such costs can be as high as $24.50 for every $1,000 invested.
But more than any of these characteristics, one thing really sets the TSP apart: the G Fund, a short-term Treasury security that is exclusive to the TSP and is guaranteed by the U.S. government. Nearly 40 percent of the money invested in TSP accounts is in the G Fund--almost $200 billion.
The G Fund aims to deliver a rate of return higher than inflation while avoiding exposure to default risk and market price fluctuations. But it's currently at risk of losing that feature. As GovExec's Eric Katz reported in late March, a House Budget Committee report takes issue with how the interest rate on the G Fund is calculated, arguing that "those who participate in the G Fund are rewarded with a long-term rate on what is essentially a short-term security...
9 Questions (and Answers) for Federal Couples
- By Tammy Flanagan
- April 2, 2015
- Leave a comment
A few weeks ago, my colleague Bob Leins and I conducted a webinar on the topic of retirement benefit issues for federal couples -- those in which one or both of the spouses are federal employees. The presentation led to lots of audience questions. This week, I thought I'd address some of them.
How do you get proof that you have been enrolled in a family plan under the federal Employees Health Benefits program from your human resources department?
This question relates to the "five-year test" of continuous retirement coverage in order to carry FEHBP into retirement. If you were covered under your spouse's self and family enrollment and are now covered under your own self only enrollment, your records may not show five years of continuous coverage. In these cases, either your spouse or your HR specialist can obtain your spouse's FEHBP enrollment form from their official personnel folder and include this with your other FEHBP documentation when your retirement case is prepared for submission to the Office of Personnel Management.
If I've been married less than five years at retirement, does my spouse need to be vested for five years or will my vesting be...
Leaving Government Now and Taking Retirement Later
- By Tammy Flanagan
- March 26, 2015
- Leave a comment
Not all federal employees retire from federal service. Some work in government for several years, but leave before they're eligible for immediate retirement benefits. Under the Federal Employees Retirement System, those who have at least five years of creditable civilian service may be eligible for a deferred retirement at age 62 or earlier, if they have completed 10 years or more of creditable service. Only five of those years must be civilian service.
I've written a couple of columns in the past about deferred retirement:
- Leaving Early (May 19, 2006)
- Deferred vs. Postponed (June 29, 2007)
I recently received the following question, which made me realize it's probably a good time to take up the issue again:
I am a federal employee with 31 years of service in the FERS system. I have the service years required to retire but not the age. I have another seven years until I reach my minimum retirement age (MRA). I have been thinking about leaving the federal government to pursue other interests. I have read scenarios for retirement where the employee has the age but not the service years but have not found any information about acquiring the service years...

Solutions for Everyday Overindulging
Sundaes, sunshine, sangria? Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.
Your Overindulgence: Food
What you did: You can't believe you ate that whole thing. Now you're paying for it with a burning sensation in your chest and a bitter taste in the back of your throat.
Now what? You'll have to wait for your stomach to empty to get complete relief, says Patricia Raymond, a gastroenterologist in Chesapeake, Virginia. Meanwhile…
- Don't lie down. Eating more than your stomach can comfortably hold means there's nowhere for gastric acids to go but up, into the esophagus. Reclining will only exacerbate this problem. You should stay upright for three to four hours after overeating.
- Take a brisk 30-minute walk to help speed digestion along. Don't do anything more energetic, however. Bouncing around could cause gastric acids to slosh up into the throat.
- Avoid most antacids. By neutralizing existing stomach acids, they prompt the stomach to produce more of them. The exception is Gaviscon, available in drugstores as chewable tablets or in liquid form. It contains an ingredient that forms a barrier between the acids and the esophagus.
- Loosen your belt. "The pressure can worsen heartburn," says Raymond.

Antigenic shift occurs because influenza A viruses have a large animal reservoir, consisting primarily of wild aquatic birds . The (e.g., ducks). It also occurs because the RNA genome of influenza A viruses is in the form of eight segments. If , which during viral replication are susceptible to a type of genetic exchange known as genetic reassortment. Reassortment can result in antigenic shift when an intermediate host, such as a pig, is simultaneously infected with a human and an avian influenza A virus, the genome RNA segments can be reassorted, yielding a new virus that has an H or N antigen that is immunologically distinct from that of . The new version of the virus that is produced represents a new influenza A subtype and thus is immunologically distinct from influenza A viruses that have been circulating in the human population. Antigenic shift also is suspected to occur in visna virus (or maedi-visna virus), a retrovirus that causes chronic pneumonia and neurological disease in sheep. Visna virus isolated from sheep that have been infected for many years was shown to possess distinct antigenic glycoproteins relative to virus grown in culture in a laboratory. The continual evolution of the virus during chronic infection is believed to enable the virus to evade antibody detection and to contribute to the progressive nature of the diseaseInfluenza A subtypes are distinguished by the two major antigenic glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), that exist on their viral coats. (H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1 are examples of influenza A subtypes.)
Antigenic shift may also occur when an influenza A virus jumps directly from aquatic birds to humans or when a virus passes from aquatic birds to humans through an intermediate host without undergoing reassortment.

Tuna and Prawn Sushi
|Wasabi powder
|2 Teaspoon
|Cooked prawns
|12 Large, shelled and deveined, tails left intact
|Fresh tuna
|4 Ounce (125 Gram)
|Nori sheet
|1 , cut into strips
|Soy sauce
|1 Tablespoon
|For sushi rice
|Short grain rice
|1 Pound (500 Gram)
|1 Pint (2 1/2 Cups, 600 Milliliter)
|Sweet sake/Sherry
|2 Tablespoon
|Rice vinegar
|4 Tablespoon
|2 Tablespoon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
1. To make sushi rice, wash rice several times in cold water and set aside to drain for 30 minutes. Place rice and water in a large saucepan and bring to the boil, cover and cook, without stirring, over a low heat for 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Place sake or sherry, vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove pan from heat and set aside to cool. Turn rice out into a large shallow dish, pour over vinegar mixture and toss gently until rice has cooled to room temperature. Take a tablespoon of rice in your hand and gently squeeze it to form a neat oval. Place on a serving platter and repeat with remaining rice to make 24 ovals.
3. Mix wasabi powder with a few drops of water to make a smooth paste and dab a little on each rice oval.
4. Split prawns on the underside, taking care not to cut all the way through, and flatten them out. Top twelve rice ovals with prawns.
5. Cut tuna into twelve 2x4 cm/ 3/4 x 1 1/2 in strips each 5 mm / 1/4 in thick. Top remaining rice ovals with tuna strips. Wrap a strip of nori, if using, around each sushi. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.

It's sad, I've been stalking a guyfor ages and he's becoming more present recently but sadly his personality is not what was it was when I first met him. He was more vibrant and spoke to me, even made a fuss out of me. It's all gone.

We recently stayed at this hotel overnight as we were leaving for a safari the next day. This hotel is located around a 15 minute drive from Jomo Kenyatta airport (assuming no traffic).
The room was sufficient with hard wood floors and was clean. The beds were a bit hard but acceptable. The internet connetion was very intermittent which was frustrating. The doors to the hallway are very thin and we were awakened at 7am by the cleaning staff who knocked on our door to see if we wanted our room cleaned. Granted, we could have put our 'do not disturb' sign on the door, but 7 am is too early for cleaning staff to be knocking on doors, especially at a transit hotel. We tried to fall back asleep but could hear the cleaning staff making up the room across the way, including rustling of garbage bags, sweeping, moving things around, etc. We didn't get a good sleep at this hotel.
Room service (fajitas) from the steakhouse was adequate and the breakfast buffet was good. Lattes were available at breakfast upon request.
We requested a taxi at the front desk to Wilson airport and were quoted a price was twice as high as it should have been (US$20 per person). Upon a bit of questioning of the staff (we paid 1600 schillings the night before from Jomo Kenyatta and knew that Wilson was closer), the rate quickly dropped by 50%. A member of the staff drove us to the airport. Overall, our stay here was sufficient but was not without problems. I would stay here again if necessary, but only for a brief overnight transit.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

It is situated minutes away from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, 5km from Wilson Airport and 5km from the bustling central business district.

Scribd launches iPhone reader app, hopes to become 'Netflix of reading'
July 19, 2011 | 11:23 am
By Chris Meadows
Scribd is launching an iPhone app called the Float Reader, through which it hopes to become "the Netflix of reading." Unfortunately, I can't try this app out on my first-gen iPod Touch—it requires iOS 4.0—but from the news coverage it looks like an interesting attempt to bring some of the benefits of iPad-only reader apps like Flipboard to the smaller smartphone interface.
The Float Reader provides access to a user's Scribd documents, as well as to articles from 150 partners including The Atlantic, Time, Salon, and TechCrunch, and to excerpts of articles friends have shared on Facebook, Twitter, or Scribd. It will also allow Instapaper-like slurping of content via a browser bookmarklet. One clever feature is that the app will support either scrolling of text by sliding your finger up and down on the screen, or flipping to a whole new page by sliding it left or right.
Scribd plans to start running ads against some content later this year, but also plans to offer a Netflix-style service where one flat fee allows access to paywalled content from a number of publishers. This is an idea with some potential—as TechCrunch points out, it seems more likely to succeed than requiring people to pay separately every time they want to read something—but time will tell if they can get enough publishers on board to make it appealing.
Are the new Kindle Unlimited rates good or bad? It depends on who you ask

Rebuilding A City Of Heroes: The Phoenix Project
One of the more miserable gaming events of last year was the closure of City of Heroes. The end of an entire world does tend to be a sad affair for those involved and even onlookers might find themselves touched by the extinction of all those lovely data-denizens. While the urban heroes may have fallen for good, Gamerzines have spotted The Phoenix Project, which aims to rise from the City's smouldering remains. Missing Worlds Media is a 'community based game studio', made up of members of Titan Network's 'Save City of Heroes' forum, among others. Their intention is clear ' they want to build a new comic book world packed with heroes and villains, and they want you to be a part of it.

Second Rarest Collectible Issue in High Grade
"The 1920-S is one of the prime rarities in the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle series, if not in the entire 20th century U.S. gold series. In fact, it is the rarest collectible Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle after only the 1927-D, 1930-S and 1921. The 1920-S is actually rarer than the 1927-D and 1930-S in high grades. Virtually the entire mintage was destroyed during the gold recall of the 1930s--the first of several Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles from the 1920s and 1930s to suffer this fate. The majority of survivors fall somewhere in the Choice AU to MS-64 grade range. High-grade examples, of which there are very few, were almost certainly obtained at the time of issue by collectors who had close ties to Mint or other government officials."
Historically, numismatists estimated the rarity of an issue by keeping track of specimens seen at shows, auction appearances, and in dealer's advertisements. Experts were able to form an accurate impression of a coin's availability on the market at any particular time. Of course, the perceptions changed if a coin became more available through hoard or shipwreck finds. The 1920-S has never been included in such a find, and the supply of high grade coins has remained constant for decades.
In recent times, the importance of data from third party grading services has become a dominant factor in determining the overall rarity of certain issues. Unfortunately, in the case of the 1920-S, the data has been distorted by resubmissions and crossovers, and no longer reflects the true rarity of the issue in higher Mint State grades. To date, NGC has certified 13 examples in MS64, with two finer, at MS65; PCGS has graded 11 specimens in MS64, with four examples in MS65, and two coins in MS66 (10/09). To test this data, we have conducted a search of auction records to see how many coins have appeared at auction and private sale in grades MS64 and above since 1990. The resulting roster reveals that only six coins account for all appearances of the date in MS64, while two separate examples have been cataloged at the Gem level, and two specimens are known in MS66. There are also two coins reported in institutional collections, one MS64 and one MS67. The roster shows a total of seven coins in MS64, versus 24 coins certified by the grading services; two examples in MS65, versus six seen by NGC and PCGS; and the two coins in Premium Gem condition coincide exactly with the population data. It is easy to understand how the population data came to be inflated when the roster is studied for duplicate appearances of the same coin. The Reed Hawn specimen has appeared in six different auctions since 1990, and the Thaine Price coin has appeared in five. It has become common practice to resubmit such a coin to the grading services before any auction appearance, in the hopes of receiving an upgrade. In recent times, some attempt has been made to adjust the population totals when this occurs, but there was no such accounting effort in earlier days. Of course, some auction appearances may have been overlooked, as this is the first attempt to compile such a listing, and it is conceivable that a few high grade specimens have not been offered at auction in the last 20 years. Still, the disparity between the 24 coins certified in MS64 and the seven near-Gem examples that can be documented from the census is dramatic. The roster provides a compelling argument that the 1920-S is much rarer at the near-Gem level than the population data indicate.
The extraordinary near-Gem specimen presented in this lot displays bright peach-gold surfaces that are imbued with just the slightest hint of mint-green undertones. Strike can be a problem on most 1920-S double eagles, and some minor softness is noted on the Capitol building of this example. All in all, though, the design features are strongly impressed, particularly on the fingers of both hands, on the olive branch, and on the eagle's breast feathers. Both sides are well preserved, and reveal fewer handling marks than expected, suggestive of an even higher grade. Outstanding visual appeal and the high technical grade make this specimen an appropriate choice for a fine Registry Set of double eagles.
The following roster of MS64 and finer specimens has been compiled from a study of auction records and private transactions over the past two decades.
1. MS66 PCGS.

As far as quality goes, this film is incredibly uneven. Some of it was phenomenal,some of it was laughable (mostly due to the acting).However its still good enough to recomend.

CFN Recruiting Rankings
30. Missouri
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 46
After a strange and partially successful season, Missouri needs to come up with a more consistent season with QB Blaine Gabbert and RB Derrick Washington forming a strong backfield working behind a veteran line with four starters returning. WR Danario Alexander is gone, but there are weapons to work with. Sean Weatherspoon is gone, but the rest of the defensive back seven is back. If the Tigers can beat Illinois in the opener, they'll be 5-0 going into a four game stretch at Texas A&M, Oklahoma, at Nebraska, and at Texas Tech. Missing Texas and Oklahoma State is a positive.
29. Texas Tech
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 42
Will Tommy Tuberville really make sure the offense rolls like it did under Mike Leach? That's the plan meaning the early question mark will be at quarterback where Taylor Potts and fan-favorite Steven Sheffield will wage a fantastic offseason battle. There are more than enough veterans back on offense to be explosive, while the defense should be solid if a shutdown corner can emerge to replace Jamar Wall and the holes on the defensive front can be filled in right away. Getting Iowa State and Colorado from the North is a nice break, even if those games are on the road, while the Missouri battle is at home. The toughest road game is at Oklahoma, but the second-toughest road trip is at Colorado.
28. Ole Miss
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 25
Last year was supposed to be when everything came together with the veteran, explosive team and the schedule breaks for a special year. It didn't happen, and now the piper will be paid. Only three starters return on offense with the loss of QB Jevan Snead, RB Dexter McCluster, and WR Shay Hodge hurting the firepower. The defense doesn't take as big a hit, but it's all but starting over in the secondary and needing to build a bit of depth on the front seven. The real problem is the schedule after the squishy-soft first five games. Five of the last seven games are at Alabama, at Arkansas, Auburn, at Tennessee, and at LSU.
27. Clemson
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 24
While there's no easy way to replace C.J. Spiller, neither Andre Ellington nor Jamie Harper will be slouches in the running game. The offense needs the line to keep progressing and a go-to receiver to emerge in place of TE Michael Palmer and WR Jacoby Ford. The defense will be taking auditions all over, but especially in the back seven. Can someone light a fire under DE Da'Quan Bowers in the offseason? He has too many physical gifts to make just three sacks.
26. Houston
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 18
New year. Similar results. Case Keenum is expected back for one final season, as are most of his favorite weapons at wide receiver and running back. The Cougar offense will be every bit as incendiary as in recent seasons, but the development of the defense holds the key to just how far this team can go in 2010. If it continues to give up chunks of yards on the ground, Houston will be vulnerable in games it's supposed to win.
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 11
Depending on those who take off on Church missions, this should be another good year. If Riley Nelson can hold off super-recruit Jake Heaps and be a steady leader at quarterback, the offense could be terrific with a strong receiving corps and with four starters returning to the offensive front. The defensive front seven needs an almost wholesale change, but the secondary should be terrific. Playing Washington and at Florida State in non-conference play will give the Cougars a shot to make a big splash, but the Mountain West games against the three other top teams in the league, Air Force, TCU, and Utah, are all on the road.
24. Arkansas
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 28
Last year was the stepping-stone to this year after Ryan Mallett chose to come back for another year. The junior bomber leads a devastating offense that returns ten starters and should be among the most dangerous in America. The defense has nowhere to go but up and should be more consistent with seven starters coming back. However, losing Malcolm Sheppard and Adrian Davis off the line hurts, and MLB Wendel Davis won't be easily replaced. The Hogs aren't going to win the West, but they'll be in the thick of things getting Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss at home and catching a break getting Vanderbilt and South Carolina from the East.
23. Utah
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 23
Is Kyle Whittingham going to be able to get his Utes back to the BCS? The Mountain West breaks are there with BYU and TCU coming to Salt Lake City, and any team good enough to think about the BCS has to beat Air Force and Wyoming on the road. There are résumé builders in non-conference play with Pitt, at Iowa State, and at Notre Dame to deal with. QB Jordan Wynn got thrown to the wolves late last season, and it should pay off this year as the leader of an attack that gets back seven starts. The defense has to fill some big holes, but the line should end up being better even without top end Koa Misi. All the linebackers have to be replaced.
22. Florida State
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 44
It'll be the dawn of a new era in Tallahassee as Bobby Bowden gives way to Jimbo Fisher, who finally has the authority to make key decisions. He needs to find a new defensive coordinator that can fix the mess on that side of the ball. The offense, on the other hand, has far fewer worries. QB Christian Ponder was evolving before suffering a season-ending injury and Jermaine Thomas gets to run behind a line that returns completely intact.
21. West Virginia
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 21
West Virginia recruits about as well as any other Big East school, which will be a boon to head coach Bill Stewart. The competition at quarterback begins with freshman Geno Smith, who benefited most when Jarrett Brown was injured. Obviously, the Mountaineers would've loved to have had Noel Devine back, and now the program could be left scrambling for a feature runner. If Stewart can't bring a title back to Morgantown in his third year, the locals could start getting a little antsy.
20. Georgia
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 30
Last year wasn't that bad by normal standards, but it's not what Georgia was hoping for. There are still big questions about an underachieving group of running backs, a quarterback situation that needs Logan Gray or Aaron Murray to be great, not just good, and a defense that was stunningly soft and didn't make nearly enough big plays. There's speed and athleticism across the board, and WR A.J. Green, C Ben Jones, and DE Justin Houston bring some playmakers to build around, but there's still a lot of work to be done. The schedule isn't all that bad with the toughest road game at Auburn and the second toughest at South Carolina.
19. Auburn
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 33
If last year was a positive step forward, this year could be a major leap if Neil Caudle can produce at quarterback. The tremendous recruiting class should help the overall depth, but there are enough good players in place to expect more consistency with RB Onterio McCalebb leading the dangerous attack that gets back all the top receiving weapons and four starters up front. The defense welcomes back eight starters and should be a brick wall against the run. Yes, the Tigers have to go to Alabama, but they get two weeks off before the showdown and the three other road games (yes, only three) are at Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Kentucky. Merry Christmas.
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 5
How quickly can the Horned Frogs rebuild and rebound after losing the Fiesta Bowl? It shouldn't take long with QB Andy Dalton leading a veteran passing game that gets all the receivers back. Ed Wesley and Matthew Tucker form a dangerous 1-2 rushing tandem, while the line should be a rock with four starters back. The defense has to replace end Jerry Hughes and NFL-bound LB Daryl Washington, and losing starting corners Nick Sanders and Rafael Priest isn't a plus, but it's TCU; everything is fine. Playing Oregon State in Arlington, Texas in the opener will be a nice test, but there's no one else on the slate that should provide a huge test away from Fort Worth outside of Utah. BYU and Air Force are home games.
17. Miami
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 20
After a few years of building and assembling deep recruiting classes, Randy Shannon and Miami have been building to this point. There are plenty of returning starters on offense and defense, and depth doesn't figure to be a concern. Following an up-and-down sophomore season, it's time for Jacory Harris to turn the corner and reduce the number of his mistakes. Graig Cooper's serious knee injury and Javarris James' graduation mean the 'Canes need to develop a new feature back in the offseason.
16. Georgia Tech
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 13
Two years into this project, Paul Johnson has to like where has the program headed. The systems have been fully installed, the classes reflect those systems, and the kids have bought into the blueprint. Tech won 11 games and an ACC crown with a surprisingly small number of seniors, indicating minimal drop-off heading into 2010 and a realistic shot at repeating.

Yes, "clueless" is probably hyperbole. However, I do think that it is likely that he seriously underestimates just how far the Reds organization is from being comparable to ones like Cleveland, Oakland, and Minnesota.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
Essentially Cast has messed around for 1.5 years now. He needs to clean up his act if he wants a up and comer GM to rebuild the Reds.
I pointed out earlier that Detroit over the last four to five years made many moves similar to what Krivsky has done in the last year and a half. They only last year finally crawled out of the .265 record they had in 2003 (a 43-119 record!). And yet every Conine move or Gonzalez move or not cutting this guy or that is proof of piddling around, etc. etc. etc.
I know it's opinion, but few bandy that around; they treat it as fact.
The reality of it is, these things take time; it's a slow methodical process. Rome wasn't built in a day, etc. History could ultimately prove you all right that Castellini and Krivsky are dopes, but it's way too early to know that with any degree of certainty.
"These things take time" is quite different than sitting on your hands while opportunity may be passing you by. Krivsky has some decent opportunities right now. What he does or doesn't do will be very telling.Originally Posted by redsmetz
What I'm seeing from Reds fans is the desire to rebuild without having to go through that rough patch. I don't think it's going to happen. Telling yourself that the Reds are only a couple of players away is delusional, IMO.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
Good GMs make their own luck. We've seen reports of there being a market for Lohse, Hat, and Conine. So move them for what you can. Those are three guys that clearly aren't part of the future. Take a flyer on a couple of A ball guys with tools if you have to. Just don't pick up 30 year old AAA guys.
Wayne should also aggressively try to dump Stanton for $$ relief next year. I don't care what we get back. I'd even take another bad contract if it expires at the end of the eyar.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
For those who want rebuilding instead of a win-now approach, I still have the feeling that this is what rebuilding looks like.
I'm tempted to say, "Look at the record; you can't call that winning now," but Wayne has been accused of trying to win now, but failing.
I don't expect a new owner to go to extremes in either direction, boosting the payroll to $100 million or dropping it to $30 million.
It's more of a balancing act. And I wouldn't be surprised if Castellini is 70-30 win now and Krivsky is 60-40 rebuilding.
The Marlins have perfected the approaching of clearcutting the major league team and growing a new World Series contender in four or five years. But I'm not sure the Reds could afford four years of drawing 14,000 a game.
One thing I am sure of is that the Reds are no longer in fire sale mode. They might not go after the most expensive players, but they don't have to get rid of players to meet a certain much lower payroll figure. That's one reason Krivsky can sit back on some of these deals.
What does rebuilding look like to you? Who would be gone if the Reds were truly rebuilding in your eyes? Would you trust Krivsky to take the payroll as it is now, dump the present players and reconstruct a different roster with the same money?
It would be kind of crazy if the fans started protesting: Stop trying to win. Rebuild more, win less. The proprietor of Firemackanin.com would be interviewed on local TV and he'd call for the manager's dismissal for winning too many games. Play Anderson Macado instead of Keppinger. Play Dewayne Wise instead of Adam Dunn. Your will to win is hurting the organization ...
IMO "win now" means keeping the guys with no long term value to the roster. In this case that would include Griffey, Weathers, Lohse, Stanton, Conine, Hatte and supplementing with "stopgaps" in the like of Ross, Gonzalez, and IMO Freel. Adding more "stopgaps" is an indication of "Win Now" IMO.
I really am for something in the middle. This team should be playing for "Win during our Window of Opportunity" which could be as early as 2008 but more likley 2009 to 2011. There is a lot of money that is going to free up in the next couple of years. $16 Million plus of this year's payroll is going to players who are currently not on the roster, who's contracts expire and will be immediately freed-up. This is $16 Million before a single move is made involving any players in the "no long term value" or "stopgap" groups above.
I think the right approach to is sell off the "no future value guys" (including Griffey) and acquire as many young guys for the mix as possible. If some of those young guys happen to play a position currently manned by a "stopgap" all the better. That would make that particular "stopgap" a guy that could be sold off as well.
I realize that there are a number of pre-negotiated raises in effect starting in 2008 and going-up from there. That is why its so important IMO to acquire cheap role players and hopefully cheap (yet still effective) replacements for the dollar rising role players ("stopgaps") already here.
Next, use the freed-up salary space to go after some impact pitching. Free Agency has limited options, but I'd go hard for the top starter and a few of the top bull pen guys. I'd look to take on a contract from another team with with my created wiggle room and would offer up lower minors guys and even a core minor leaguer or two if need be (but not too many). I'd lock-up Dunn through 2011 (or 2012 if an extra year is required to get a deal done - Dunn will still be just 32 at the end of the 2012 season). Dunn is the only core player that the Reds don't control through the window of opportunity years.
This team has enough payroll to pay its productive players. What the team can not do is pay $16 Million to guys who aren't on the roster and it can't be paying role players and stop gaps $4 or $5 Million per year as they currently are with Lohse, and soon will be with Ross, Gonzalez and Freel. At least by my definition, it isn't a rebuild because I'd keep the core intact. But the near term defections should be moved with an eye toward replacing the stop gaps with young cheap talent to fill those roles. Use the money for impact guys.

He came out and said that Pete is an interim manager and basically has very little chance at getting the job. Now Pete has done some tinkering/experimenting, which again, Krivksy told him to do. But just because the Reds have had a "spell" of winning under Pete, doesn't mean that Krivsky is somehow convinced they've turned the corner and that no changes need to be made.
WE all know, and so does Krivsky, what this team needs (for the most part). Pitching.
Prior to this dealine, what names of mid-to-top level pitchers have even been floated out there as being available? And at what asking price?
I've read rumors that the Sox Garland can be had, but Kenny Williams' price is sky-high. The Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Mets, and Braves all have interest. The Braves had offered not only Renteria but a top pitching prospect, and still were rejected.
KC's Dotel is available. And the Dodgers and Indians have expressed interest. But again, the asking price has been high, and he has a 5 Mil price tag for '07.
The Tigers and Yankees are interested in Eric Gagne, but he has the right to veto a deal with either team, the Dallas Morning News reports. He likely will balk at any trade that doesn't guarantee him the closer's role or full value of his contract ($11 million).
The Detroit Tigers are reportedly pursuing a deal to acquire Farnsworth from the Yankees. He makes 5.2 Mil this year, and is due 5.5 Mil in '08. But the Yanks aren't going to deal him unless they can find someone to fill that "hole".
There is a possibility that the Orioles will shop Daniel Cabrera, the Baltimore Examiner reports. Despite a 7-10 record and 5.05 ERA, could he be an interesting pickup? And again, at what cost?
IMHO, it just seems that a majority of team are looking for those high level pitching prospects (the future), rather then what they are seeing being floated around the majors.
So that brings us to the Reds....
What is Krivsky suppose to do when the commodity he is looking for in this market is thin, and every other team is out there trying to get what there is available, and more importantly.... will probably overpay/make huge sacrifices to get it.
I look at what the Brewers just gave up for a reliever. The Padres added a significant amount of organizational pitching depth, while the Brewers got a struggling reliever who has been very homer-prone this year despite pitching in a terrible home run park, and he's about to become a free agent.
Now looking at that Brewer deal, Lohse, due to this market, may fetch us something of worth. He has to be appealing to quite a few teams.
But what other trading chips do we have that teams are showing interest in? IMHO, they can inquire all they want about Harang and Arroyo, but those boys shouldn't go anywhere.
Adam Dunn? I've been following another "Dunn-like" player named Teixeria, who Texas says is available. Texas wants promising young talent in return for Teixeira. Mark makes 9 Mil this year, and is a FA after the '08 season. The Braves are considered the most likely destination, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. A likely deal would bring catcher/first baseman Jarrod Saltalamacchia to Texas, along with a couple of prospects, perhaps a pitcher and an infielder.
The Angels were the most recent to tweak their offer. The Angels had originally offered first baseman Casey Kotchman and a choice of outfield prospects Nathan Haynes or Terry Evans. It is believed they have now added a pitcher to the mix, but the level of pitcher could vary widely from a young prospect with a high ceiling (20-year-old right-hander Nick Adenhart) to an experienced but struggling major leaguer (recently demoted Ervin Santana) to a prospect on the verge of pitching in the majors (lefty Joe Saunders).
So should we try to trade Dunn if we can get similar offers? I've read that what teams have shown interest in Dunn aren't offering much. Maybe they are thinking they can get him easily because the Reds would simply like to dump the contract, and his pending option year for 13 Mil? But any team that trades for him also realizes they are going to have to pony up the money, because he becomes a FA at the end of this season. That narrows the list of likely candidates. And again, what have they offered in return?
Is this the right time to try and trade an Adam Dunn and expect to get a solid return?
If we can trade a Weathers, Lohse, Hatteberg, and even a Stanton, and get a decent return, then I think Krivksy can (and will) do so. But they have until Tuesday. Maybe he's waiting for someone else, who is in contention and not finding what they need elsewhere, to panic and up the ante?
I'd rather see that occur with other teams then us at this point.

If the deals aren't there for some of these players mentioned above, then what is this FO suppose to do?
