Departing Reds staffer takes shots at Krivsky (Hal McCoy, Dayton Daily News, 12/5/2006)

Barton said when the Reds were ready to acquire pitcher Eddie Guardado from Seattle, a scout told him Guardado had a bad arm that could blow any time, "But Wayne said he had talked to his agent and was told Guardado just had a bad back and his arm was OK."

Krivsky made the deal, and Guardado underwent Tommy John ligament transplant surgery in his elbow Sept. 8 and isn't expected to be able to pitch until the middle of next season.

That's just one complaint. Redleg Nation and Red Reporter each have more on this rather shocking article.

We may complain about Jim Hendry now and then, but at least didn't trade Felipe Lopez and Austin Kearns for Royce Clayton and two middle relievers.
