Seems to me we have really been missing out on international signings that look promising.

Sure would like to see that really happening. Am I forgetting some?

Seems like many other teams have really had some good hits.

I expect C. Bloom to dip his toes deeply into the int. market.

Let's hope he finds a young power hitter or two!

I wonder how Buffa and Bloom are connected? If Buffa was being let go by Astros? Hopefully Bloom will comment publicly

Can't answer that but prior to joining the Astros, Buffa co-founded a baseball performance facility in St. Louis. He's a 2016 grad of Missouri State so he's like 31. Young and experienced in applying performance science and biometrics is good enough for me.

Very interesting. Perhaps married a lady from St. Louis and wanting to return.

In one of the trades they got more international money and it was Bloom behind those trades. Yes they are going to sign a lot of players.

Perhaps. Since we're speculating, let's give Mozeliak some credit. Maybe Buffa has been on the Cardinals' radar since his local days and once he showed his chops with the Stros the new regime snatched him up.
