Since most of them are slotted into the minors, Bloom probably had his hand in much of it. Don't know how many will be any good, but the activity seemed to be there.


Rah. Rah, Cranny we will dead when this is a good team again.
Unfortunately, you are probably correct. I still check in to see what is going on, but Mo, Oli and the ownership have sure taken the wind out of my sails. I just can’t get excited like I have for the past years. Maybe with a new front office and field manager my spirits will be rejuvenated.
There is not a single person I've talked to that can't wait to clean house in that organization. I look at what the Blues have done with their re-tool, and it's horribly disappointing knowing how opposite our baseball organization is. It's an absolute insult to keep Mozeliak around, and they are going to feel it very badly in their bottom line. And they 100% deserve it.

It's absurd. He wants to give them extra credit for making the same international signings they and every team do every year.

Talk about desperation.
I'm guessing that Mo-ran created this thread and we're being (bleep) with! :D

Not trying to make any point. Just listing the signings because no one else has.
No, you lead with suggesting that the Cardinals "were actually fairly active" in an offseason in which they did nearly nothing.
There are some interesting ones.

For instance Yohel Pozo has had an OPS at AAA of .861 in 2023 and .873
in 2024. AAA batting average since he has attained that level has been .321. Slugging has been .542.
He's a light hitting catcher who has never seen a pitch he didn't want to swing at... there's a reason he's spent 4 seasons in AAA.
Barrero has a real chance of major league playing time this season.
Wow, that's exciting.
Maton could be a help.
He's a filler.

Exactly.

Roddery Munoz could possibly eat some innings this year at the major league level. He had 17 starts for the Marlins last season. Still young - turns 25 next month.

Either that, or your hate clouds any respectable assessment.

Of course Maton is filler. He’s a reliever on a 1 year $2MM deal. He’s a bridge and no part of their future. They’re just buying time for farm system relievers who aren’t ready. Marmol literally said this.

It’s not hate (which is a silly term, here). It’s reality.

Why do you think a reliever signed with 3 weeks until opening day for low dollars is anything but filler?

And what’s up with you insulting my intelligence?
