craviduce wrote: ↑24 Sep 2025 17:07 pmso you're saying that your Roddery Munoz and Drew Rom predictions were a bit off? What about the Pallante is the RH version of Chris Carpenter?
Do you easily give up on "The Next John Tudor of the rotation; Rom will be the Ace of this rotation for years to come"??
I'm astonished... As the Weathervane Turns
Exactly! This fan base has “Mozo & Oli Fatigue”. The DeWitts better pay attention and get rid of BOTH, otherwise they’ll lose even more revenue.Banner29 wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025 08:31 amHazelwood72 wrote: ↑24 Sep 2025 22:18 pm#3 should be fire Marmol and crew.

1. Disinfect all things John Mozeliak.

4. Convince fans to return.
5. Remember to feed Girsch.
Correct. And you won’t be able to get 4 without doing 3

DeWitt needs to open his checkbook to get at least one of them. Maybe two. Especially, if some money is saved by trading Gray.Midrange Jay wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025 08:04 amThis is the deepest free agent SP pool in years.bretto12 wrote: ↑24 Sep 2025 18:05 pm The team is rebuilding, not get ready to compete in 26. There will be no signing of a top of the line pitcher....in fact, Gray may be traded. They will make trades designed to gather future players who can help in 27 (assuming there is a season in 27) and beyond.
I actually think attendance may improve next year (not a sure thing).

He also has 5 weeks of "power" in 4 seasons.
Don't fall victim to Carpenter Syndrome just yet.
Fine to be optimistic.
But not wise to jump too soon to potentially faulty projections.
So to sum up: according to you, all Bloom has to do is 1) get a "young, cost-controlled TOTR starter;" 2) a "young, cost-controlled #2 starter;" 3) a "young, cost-controlled 'difference maker' power hitter;" 4) some bullpen help; and 5) a new manager. Oh, and 6) he has to hypnotize a bunch of vets into waiving their NTCs against their will, and then trade them (and their underwater contracts) for a haul of "fine young prospects." All of which, according to you, any "savvy GM" could do.
Ole Oli will align with whatever you tell him to do……just program that IPad
He better share. That’s some groundbreaking, outside the box [shirt] right there!NYCardsFan wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025 17:08 pmSo to sum up: according to you, all Bloom has to do is 1) get a "young, cost-controlled TOTR starter;" 2) a "young, cost-controlled #2 starter;" 3) a "young, cost-controlled 'difference maker' power hitter;" 4) some bullpen help; and 5) a new manager.

Are you going to cover all of this in your meeting with him?
Intriguing, but it would seem Cerfolio would have the inside track on the GM job, which would only leave a lateral position open for Rodriguez.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025 17:59 pm Carlos Rodriguez is leaving his role as assistant general manager of the Rays in search of a new challenge. Could that be the Cardinals?
