Quote: another controversy after Mozeliak’s recent questioning of Fowler’s “energy and effort.” Fowler, in Chicago last week to play the White Sox, admitted playing under Maddon provided a more “laid-back” atmosphere than in St. Louis.
If Fowler was any more laid back, they would be holding a mirror up to his mouth to make sure he is still breathing.
Yeah,Bader looks like the real deal--- even Jimmy Baseball thinks he will be a better than average player, maybe even a star.
Matheny wanted veteran guys both as position players and in the bullpen which lead to the 'low hanging fruit' of Cecil,Gregerson and Holland. For these alone.....somebody needed to be fired
I'm sure we could point to the Hayward deal,the Leake deal, the Peralta deal and others as part of the decline but they wanted veterans.... (Hey Mo signed them for cheap money and Matheny managed them and nothing much was said by the kool-aid brigade known as the StL Post Dispatch and the TV sports guys)
At this point....bring up the Memphis Redbirds and send the major league team to Memphis
Positive note...as bad as it is-- we could be watching KC baseball....
Every time I get a text from Mel,I think he deserves better
