Carp just isn't a third baseman, that isn't a coaching issue. Pham plays fine D. Dexter & Ozuna weren't in the system.

I just don't see the correlation other than a few small mentions like Jose Martinez, but even he had to switch positions when he got the MLB level.

The worst D has been from guys outside our system like Ozuna, Fowler, and the recently acquired and still very young Munoz.

Albert was a no brainer, the first one of these was Allen - Uncle John MU

- 7/16 12:00:54

Just in the last 3 years they have given out - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 11:40:48

I didn't think the Dejong deal was bad. Pretty cheap if he - TheWildcat STL - 7/16 11:17:01

They just seem to be doing it a lot - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 11:35:32

I just think he should have held off one more year before - Uncle John MU

Not signing Scherzer was a big mistake. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/16 10:56:14

Matheny got ribbed for the team being so unfundamentally - TheWildcat STL - 7/16 10:52:58
