About two managers ago, the REDS should have laid it out real straight to Michael Lorenzen: try to make it full time as a position player cause you're not consistent enough to be a quality ML pitcher. That's the problem with the Reds for almost a decade; too "wishy washy" on too many personnel decisions, IMO, from the top of the front office right on down to a string of mediocre or over the hill field managers and coaches!!
