Succession plans ... not critical to bullpens, starting rotations, middle infield positions, outfield, whatever ...

I'm just happy to read Dick Williams is a living person and not the Hall of Fame manager that died four years ago.

It's the Reds after all, so I had to check.

So he's old? Fat? Useless? Can't hit for shit?

Marlon Byrd was a multidimensional player so I'm not sure which of his many characteristics you are going for in the analogy.

And on trying to search the interweb to find out more about Mr. Byrd Williams, I saw that Eddie Milner died. That sucks. I wonder if Dann Bilardello is ok.
