You sure do use the term "no one" an awful lot in your argument above. I would suggest that the best MLB talent evaluators would have made and did make smarter calls than Mo did. As I recall, Cecil had some questionable peripherals, Ozuna had some red flags, O'Neills work-out obsession would make him injury prone, Randy was highly-touted coming out of Cuba and given no real chance in STL (he shared the Shildt video), and many teams passed over Carlson in the draft.
We are trying to hire the best MLB evaluators today to make better decisions going forward.
Show me a ballplayer that doesn't have "red flags". Randy was moderately touted and that's a main reason why St Louis got him. He was a little too old for most teams and his performance in St Louis was on again off again. In fact, didn't Texas have him for a while? I'm not saying Mo is some super genius but I am saying that he's been demonized to an extreme when DeWitt is the one that decides who is signed or not.
Mo was arrogant, stubborn and lazy. Full stop.
You have absolutely no idea if Mo was lazy or not. Stop pretending like you do.
Even you said at the end of the miserable 2022 season that he lost his fire. Now here you’re back tracking
You lie a lot
Boy, Banner, you sure are brave calling someone a liar on an anonymous forum. Tough guy pounding those keys.
I notice you didn’t dispute it. Just got offended and embarrassed that it was put out to the public. Which means I am correct.
Sorry, Banner, but I’m not a liar. And I truly can’t think of a bigger waste of time than calling someone a liar that you don’t even know - on an anonymous baseball forum. Seriously, don’t you have anything better to do today?
You still aren’t disputing what I said. Just avoiding the main point that was made as you have no defense to it and responding only to something insignificant from my post.
So not only do you lie a lot but you also display traits of narcissistic behavior
More insults, Banner? Hiding behind your screen and keyboard like a little pansy? What a cute little guy you are.
The irony here is hilarious. I called you no names yet here you are name calling
And We are on an Internet forum, what would you like me to do……drive to your nursing home and say things to you directly? What else are my options?
You also are still avoiding my main point. Which is why no matter what you say from here I still win
Oh, I get it now with you, Banner. It's a matter of "I win". Sorry, not interested in playing. It's not a contest. It's supposed to be a fan friendly Cardinal forum. Let's try to keep it that way. Okay?
Don’t try to be the voice of reason now, old man. You started with the name calling because you were embarrassed about getting called out. You’re not getting out of it that easy.
You’d think that with how geriatric you are you’d be able to talk like an adult. But instead you routinely act like an immature, bitter child.

Bloom has done a terrific job repairing the broken minor league system and his hirings down below are very exciting.
This is one of the reasons, combined w/him hopefully making some solid trades that adds to the system & big league roster as well as some smart (low cost) free agent moves I think this "re-build" could happen a lot, lot quicker than some think.
I still don't see this being a three-four year, 90 loss process.
This winter is going to be fun, can't wait for the roster makeover to begin.
what are you rooting for more of the same we got with Mo?

Enjoy your evening.
Hope yours is as chitty as your adult diaper
Juvenile as well as unkind. Again, have a nice evening kid.

Post Dispatch Ben Hochman had sit down with Cards Asst. GM Rob Cerfolio regarding how Cardinals under Chaim Bloom have already made big steps i improving the Cardinals.
Last year 'Cerf' as he is called said the club hired 20 new coaches/staff last offseason and will hire nearly that number again this year . Cerf said they did some recruiting to find the best teachers. They also invested in new technology like Hawk Eye, Pulse, and Catapult (see article )
Bloom Cerfolio and Larry Day have done a lot already to improve the organization for the long term.
The Pierpont hire to run the pitching side seems quite positive too.
In the article linked, Bloom during his sitdown with Cardinal writers said , 'I don't think any of you would have asked me about our 2022 No .2 pick Brycen Mautz ... Pierpont told Bloom last spring as they observed the kid in spring training , 'That kid is good !' Mautz went on to pitch well this year in Double A finishing 8-3 in 25 starts with a 2.98 ERA He started and won the Texas League title game for Springfield this year. Looks to pitch at Memphis in 2026 . Keep an eye out for him . Sounds to me like Pierpont has a good eye for pitching talent.

Wow, Cranny. Calling posters names. Something you have railed against for years. Very hypocritical behavior on your part. I think it’s time for you to stop posting for awhile and see if you can regain your self respect. You are scraping the bottom of the barrel and really are not adding anything meaningful to the forum. All you do is argue with people who do not see the world as you do.

Wow, Rojo. You probably need to check your priorities if you chastise me, but approve of the disgusting post by Banner.

Take some time off. Cool down and stop embarrassing yourself. It’s just a sports posting board for goodness sakes. Do what you’ve told us to do for years and stop with the juvie name calling, sport.

Not very bright if you equate Bloom w/Mo.
“I still don't see this being a three-four year, 90 loss process.”
