You can blame Matheny for the clubhouse, but the Cardinals roster is just not good. Carpenter is solid, but the rest is fading stars or guys you hope break 2 WAR on the year. [Reply]

One would hope, but new GMs mean new scouts, and I'm interested by what Flores has done. [Reply]

They've got time to get scouts together. Gonna be a minute before the Cardinals are seriously contenders again, imo.
You've got a good core of pitchers, but missing a true ace. A ton of holes in the lineup. And no real potential stars in the minors close to being promoted to the big leagues. [Reply]

If Flaherty maintains this development curve, he's a legit ace. [Reply]

I want to see what they do without Matheny's poisonous influence before consigning them to the scrap heap. [Reply]

Only have 2 weeks to do so, though. If you are firing your manager you should be ready to sell, especially considering what you do have that is producing are sitting on 2 year deals. [Reply]

Mo isn't going anywhere anytime soon, IMO.
DeWitt's on record as believing this team has the talent to make the postseason and I honestly wouldn't disagree.
2B and RF are the two shit parts of this team currently that can't easily be fixed.
Rotation is fine and the bullpen, while volatile, isn't something I'd be concerned with long term.
Ownership made the right decision. It will be interesting to see what they order Mo to do in 2 weeks. [Reply]
