Those that follow MLB know that I'm not a big fan of John Mozeliak and his puppet Michael Girsch. It's hard to follow their line of thinking when it comes to player personnel decisions. Last year, St. Louis was 24th in all of baseball in OPS against RHP. Their lineup last year did not include a single LH bat (Carlson and Edman switch). So one would think a LH bat would be a priority. So they signed Corey Dickerson. Dickerson's history shows he could be a serviceable bat, but not in a power spot like in the 5 hole. This guy is not gonna move the needle. He's 33 and really just a bench/role player now. Currently hitting 0.148 with zero XBHs. He also signs another RH in Pujols who can barely run to 1st. Then I started thinking about what position players in his 14 years at the helm have come up through the ranks and been productive in St. Louis. I really can't think of one. Alot of the guys he drafted recently were highly rated that just don't seem to pan out.
Bader sucks
Carlson sucks
O'neill sucks
Sosa sucks
Dejong sucks
Nootbar sucks
Yadi has no business playing this year
I know we're only 16 games in, but 9 guys on the 28 man roster currently have an OPS under 0.600. Then I found this article that suggests Moron is doing an adequate job. But this article just doesn't translate to what I've been watching the last 10 years. Hitters regress when they are called up.

So it has to be one of 2 things. His draftees aren't as good as they are projected. Or whatever hitting philosophy they're using isn't working. They all look lost at the plate.
But seriously, can anyone name any players that have come up through the ranks and been productive in St. Louis?
Just another wasted summer watching another one of bowtie's overpriced rosters underperform.
