Well, we would be tied with the Royals and Pirates.Joe Shlabotnik wrote:Does this mean the Cardinals are at the bottom of those who aren't tanking?!?MrCrowesGarden wrote:9 teams have a longer active postseason drought than the Cardinals, and most of them have been tanking.
So, you're left with:
-Rays (mostly tanking, had a good year last year)
-White Sox (tanking)
-Tigers (tanking)
- Angels (not tanking)
- Mariners (split on tanking, got similar results to the Cardinals last year)
- Phillies (tanking until last year)
- Marlins (tanking)
- Reds (tanking until now)
- Padres (half tanking?)
I've pounded the drum too hard on this, but the Cardinals have made good moves, they just seem too content to stop once they do... and this isn't a system that rewards mid to upper 80s teams at all. If you want my official take, that's about as best as I can summarize it: happy with what they did, frustrated and upset they didn't do more.
It's not that I don't love getting Paul Goldschmidt because I do, but getting him and pretty much stopping there isn't good IMO. The Diamondbacks had Paul Goldschmidt last year, and their fans don't seem to be too happy with their 2018.
