Baker hints at returning?
I’m at AT&T Park for the Reds workout. They just took the field…
Reds manager Dusty Baker, in the final year of his two-year contract, has barely talked about or answered questions about his status for next season. Looking very relaxed in his office on Friday afternoon, Baker subtly hinted his intentions about returning.
“The way I look at it, we’ll get even better in the future,” Baker said. “The more mature these guys get, we’ve got a bunch of guys here still learning how to hit, still learning how to play basically.”
Does that mean he will be back in 2013? Baker’s face cracked a smile.
“This is my team, you know,” Baker replied.
More later after the workout is over and the clubhouse opens.

Glad to hear it. Dusty has done well with this group. Its obvious they respect and enjoy playing for him. It shows in the results
Dusty needs to return, just hope that the deep pockets of the dodgers, red sox etc don’t steal him away.
