Wayne Krivsky, who GMed the Reds until earlier this year, has been hired as a "special assistant" to Omar Minaya, presumably to work on scouting and player development stuff. While Krivsky ran the Reds, he made one deal that a lot of people complained about (dealing Austin Kearns, Felipe Lopez, and prospect Ryan Wagner to the Nationals essentially for bullpen help), but on balance his record there looks pretty decent, including some pretty good trades. If he's being groomed as Omar's (or Bernazard's) replacement, we could probably do a lot worse.
