BengalszoneBilly Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 No wonder I admire him so much!Barry still wants to be a Red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I figured he would. He's been pondering retirement since he won't be a Red in 2005 with only the DC Nationals -- who have a ton of Reds connections already -- as the only other option.May 1st -- the first date Larkin can sign with the Reds -- Let's see what happens, but I'll bet he gets signed if anything on an emotional basis. Which will be fine, as long as we don't restrict the development of this team. We have a chance at winning, well as R-U-D-I accurately said through Auguest, and if it doesn't hurt the progress of the youngsters, hell bring him back if anything as veteran leadership.

bengalboomer7 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 What can you say, he's a class act and a dying breed in today's world of pom pom dances and steriod scandals. He should have been to even more all star games, but Ozzie Smith always got the sentimental vote the last years of his career. barry was the first real "hitting shortstop" and should be a first ballot hall of famer in my book!!

Kirkendall Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Was he the first SS to win NL MVP? Or did the guy in Pittsburgh win it, something Groat? Or something that sounds like Goat during the 50-60's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 i love the guy. if he wants back in...take him if we can afford him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middy19 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 What about picking him up at a reasonable price and having him be a backup third baseman and an insurance policy if someone else gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsfan33 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Why did we sign Rich Aurillia to be our starting SS when we could've just kept Larkin? This really didn't make a lick of sense to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 were paying aurillia peanuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brew Man Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Id take Lark back in a heartbeat, just as long as he knows his role as a backup and mentor to the young bucks...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
