St. Louis Cardinals: Cardinals’ end of season presser reaction part one

We’ve always said Mozeliak is a master of words, but perhaps I am reading into his quote too much.

While the first part of his quote is the more shocking of all of it, Mozeliak does bring up a good point. The bottom line is this team needs to improve. At the end of the day, the St. Louis Cardinals truly have one position where you know who the starter is going to be. Knowing the Cardinals must improve, why would Mozeliak tie himself down three days after the season ends?

I think it’s important to really understand the nature of what he is trying to say. While we may think there are certain positions that will be filled by certain players, what happens if one of them is needed in a trade to make the team better?

I think we struggle, or maybe I, just struggle with a quote like this because of the uncertainty. We have seen the team time and time again lose out on free agents or not make a big splash in the trade market.

So for Mozeliak to say the only position really with a true starter is catcher bothers me.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand where Mozeliak is coming from, but at the same time I am looking for more answers on how this team will get better.

I’ll give him that it’s only a couple of days after the season has ended. You don’t want to reveal the game plan too soon. And I think other Cardinals fan should understand that as well.

It does the team no good to reveal anything until after the World Series. Free agency hasn’t started and there is no telling how the trade market will unfold. Mozeliak and Girsch will find a way to make the club better at their own pace, even if it’s a pace we don’t agree with for the time being.
