What manager hire would have really excited the fan base?

Pujols, Molina, Schumaker, etc. ???

Brilliant I tell ya!

Actually, from what I've read, Burleson might just be intelligent enough to pull it off. LOL Seriously, my guess is, either Pujols or Molina being hired, would have pumped up the fan base.

after larussa retired, tito was the right move, especially with what was still in st.louis on roster


matheny was not

From what you’ve read? Source? Link?

No offense, but you’re about the last person on the planet who should be evaluating intelligence. “LOL”

ME-ville as Manager with RWeb as Bench Coach.
Easy
Obvious
Correct

Any one or a combination of the above.

Doesn’t matter. The knuckle draggers on this board will start to hate any manager after the first loss in Spring Training. Yadi should never become the Cardinals manager because of this.

[JuanAgosto]

John Mozeliak. With Michael Girsch as bench coach. Both wearing suits in the dugout ala Connie Mack.

[CraigPaquette]

I'd be more excited if they got a new owner. The deceased Marge Schott would be better.

[rockondlouie]

Been saying this for months now:

Somehow C. Bloom is re-united (via trade) w/K. Cash!

That would excite the fan base and give the Cardinals a great manager.

Pujols, Molina, Schumaker, etc. ???

Burleson as player-manager, hitting coach, and GM.

No man, it should be Hampson with Pozo as bench coach
