If I was applying for Cardinals Manager position...

Post by picasso »

This is what I would say.

1. I would implement a 6th starter piggyback rotation, for say CMart and MGonzo. And fill-in starts for Waino and Wacha.

2. I would give at least 1 day a week off (in addition to scheduled days off) for Holliday and Molina.

3. This team is in the playoffs every year, it needs to respond to the extra innings forced on the players (particularly SP).

4. I will acknowledge the value of a Peter Bourgous, and utilize him as a starter or mid to late inning defensive replacement.

5. I want T Rosenthal as a SP.

6. I would not be afraid to implement Tommy Pham or Sam Tuivailala ahead of lesser performing teammates if circumstances demanded it.

7. I will pick a bench based on logic and merit and not on indebtedness.

Some of these things sound like they could be daily affirmations for Matheny.

Yeah, except for the reason behind why Hayward wears 22.
