I would say at this point MO might be in more hot water than MM. Don't think either have much to be worried about, but MO has had some significant swings and misses the last 2 years. The Miller trade has to be considered a big miss now. Terrible job of improving the team at the trade deadline last year. The fact that he said they have money to spend, but can find no takers is not a good sign. The rest of this winter better improve or the Birds could be in big trouble. It's been a while since I have said this, but hope is not a strategy. They are hoping Waino, Martinez, Yadi, Holiday, Adams, Moss and Grichuk all return to good health and play. Jaimi is an injury waiting to happen. Other than Piscotti there is probably not one player that had a strong finish. The farm system's #1 player is a pot head. It's only December so maybe MO will get somethings done by the new year!
Hard to swallow that the Birds best pitcher and best fielder are Cubbies. Boooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Now MO claims he thinks the Cardinals will have an uptick in offense. So they probably won't be signing any offensive help. lol One of the worst offenses to make the playoffs just got better by losing out on their best offensive player.
