Baseball America did a poll recently about General Managers and Krivsky was rated the most knowledgeable about baseball's rules (or something to that effect). It seems apparent that that kind of aptitude is spreading throughout the system. <BR/><BR/>As for Duran, I honestly don't know how they'll handle him. It'll be very interesting to see. At his age, he's clearly not ready for full season ball. So, he'll be on the Billings Roster in name only. Outside of that, I'm not sure. I would imagine he'll probably workout at the Reds Dominican Republic Academy all next year. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I find the acquisition very encouraging and a great boost to our farm system. We need to keep loading talent into the system so that we always have a steady stream of talent heading up the pipeline. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, this bit of news was a great Spring Training gift to Reds fans!<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>-LarkLark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06571198327064220683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347536209014288641.post-49549831370656610242008-03-04T17:49:00.000-08:002008-03-04T17:49:00.000-08:00So he has to be on Billings roster and can't play ...So he has to be on Billings roster and can't play for GCL. I wonder what his itinerary will look like. Maybe extended spring training? Maybe he'll buy a Lexus and then get a temporary driver's permit...<BR/><BR/>With talent like that, you can throw another million towards a trainer, fielding coaches, and the like.
