Jocketty is gone. I am taking over.
Ok, if you have fan suggestions for me. I will listen and publish them here.
I have $83 million tied up in 12 players…. My first step is to decide what i think I am going to get out of Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds, Chris Carpenter, Juan Encarnacion, and Mark Mulder.
I decided Pineiro is not a #5 guy but more like a 3 or 4 and therefore, we must pay him accordingly. Somebody is going to pay him and WE need pitchers so it might as well be us.
Manager- I am going to ask Tony LaRussa to step down so we can move forward with younger players. He has a propensity to play veterans and now is the time for new blood.
I am going to get to work. Any suggestions?

Welcome aboard… tom as the next Cardinals GM! Love it
Good decision getting rid of Tony. I love tony and love what he did for the franchise but it’s time for a fresh start.
Hey, you know what my first order of business would be! Get that Twins GM on the phone stat!
[...] Erik at Future Redbirds gives Walt his due, but thinks the move helps protect the farm. Tom at CardinalsGM declares that he will fill the vacancy. Kujo at Rockin’ the Red doesn’t mince [...]
Congrats Tom!
Any thought on a new manager?
I think that you should keep LaRussa because he was the one that led us to the Championship in the first place. So keep him for a few more years i think he can pull a nother championship win out of his hat.
