Shady, serious question. What makes you think that Edmonds "would probably get after some players for poor play"? Why do you say this? Are you basing this claim from his broadcasting time frame? His playing days? Just curious why Edmonds would be the guy to go after players for poor play? Wouldn't any decent manager do the same?
I gathered this from the way Edmonds wasn't shy from some critique when broadcasting. In other words, he didn't "sugar coat".

Jesus, can we stop now? Enough with the let *insert former player* manage.

It ain't happening.

Whether you agree or not, the Cardinals do have some former players that are intriguing possible MLB managers somewhere in the future. If they would choose to go that route.

If nothing develops, Pujols getting a Cardinals' coaching gig, for now, would make sense. Are two bench coaches feasible ?

I believe the club needs dramatic change in philosophy, strategy, and personnel at all levels of the organization…..

Recycling former players is not consistent with that..

Now….if the goal is to sell tickets………??
