In addition to the 10 new hirings, others already there were given promotions including former Cardinal player Ryan Ludwick who is now has title of Minor League Outfield Coordinator.

Bloom has sure expanded the minor league development and performance areas big time. Good to see that ownership is giving him the support.
Sure that is why he accepted the position. Go Chaim Bloom ! Keep building !

Thanks for the post, Dan. Good article that captures the Bloom vision. It should be required reading on CT.

And this all could have been done without cutting payroll. It should have been done, without cutting payroll. It would be interesting to know if these area's suffered because of Mo or Dewitt. I assume that Dewitt signs the checks. They hired 10 new guys and probably didn't raise payroll a million dollars. Regardless, it should have been already done if it helps.

Glad it’s getting done but frustrated it got to such a low point and it took so long to get started.

That’s what frustrates me. Bloom has my total confidence, but he doesn’t deserve praise for this.

If I decide to stop brushing my teeth because toothpaste is expensive and I then develop several cavities, I wouldn’t expect to be praised for addressing my dental health because I finally coughed up the money to pay for fillings.

Like the dental comparison but one key difference ... YOU were the one who stopped brushing and thus you said you deserved no praise for paying for the fillings .... In Cardinal scenariio , it was NOT BLOOM who didn't have the staff . He rectified the slight by previous FO . Thus IMO he deserves the praise ! He fixed an issue he did not cause in the first place.

That's good unless they are all analytics types who want to turn players into robots.

The Cardinals were understaffed compared to other teams in player development. It led to the Cardinals player development falling behind MLB standards. These for the most part are new positions to more align with other organizations trends.

Mozeliak is the one who stopped brushing his teeth, not Bloom.
