I expected something similar to this, though I did not expect Dick Williams to be named the GM. Thought they may look outside.

Let’s give the guy a chance, geez. Maybe he’ll stop get former Cardinal players

Hes clearly a Jocketty acolyte so im not holding my breath. The whole FO needs a shakeup, not promoting the AGM thats been around forever.

He’s a relatively young investment banker who’s a son of a member of the ownership group. I think it’s worth pointing out that his ties to the organization aren’t through Jocketty. It’s been made clear today that Jocketty has previously been asked to groom Williams as a successor, but they’re different guys from different backgrounds.
A couple of weeks ago some national writer reported that some voices within the Reds were advocating for a Astros-esq tear down and rebuild. One un-addressed question is whether or not Williams was one of those voices.

As a Reds fan who follows the team very closely, it’s close to impossible to learn anything ABOUT Dick Williams. Look him up on Google and you’ll just find vague points about a baseball background. I guess that also means there’s nothing bad to hold against him, either…

The Reds really need to commit to a complete rebuild, but that’s unlikely with this group of ostriches. It really is such a shame to see the Great Joey Votto wasted on a team that is going nowhere. At the very least, they really need to trade Bruce, Chapman and Frasier this off-season. With his contract, Votto would be hard to move, but it would be worth trying that as well. After all, Votto will inevitably be in decline once this team’s window opens again.
