Hmm... looks like Bill isn't including his tenure in Seattle on his current resume. Wonder why that might be? Headline on ESPN – “Reds tap ex-Angels GM Bavasi as special assistant”.

He is a nice guy and all that. . .but at least he can't run the Reds franchise downhill--it is one of the few around that is lower than the M's. Sad but true! Glad the Bill found work!

Hmm, Chris Buckley, fairly new in the position, well thought of. I don't think Special Assistants get to bring in a raft of their own people. Bavasi's not the boss of anything anymore. And I don't think Fontaine is looking to take a demotion if he doesn't have to, either. Who’s the Reds scouting director now? Hmm, Chris Buckley, fairly new in the position, well thought of.

I think a Silva trade is in order! He did so much better in the midwest. I wonder who we can now trade to the Reds for their top prospects.

I suppose other considerations include what other offers Fontaine gets - somebody is sure to want him, of course - and who the new GM is. To that end, Geoff Baker <a href="http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/mariners/2008/07/mariners_at_toronto_blue_jays_4.html" rel="nofollow">pointed out</a> a little while ago that he's "close" to Tony LaCava, whose name keeps getting mentioned. They also worked together with the Angels. Graham is one of the moderators. We occasionally chip in when the authors aren't available. So…Fontaine out of here then?
