[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1401273, member: 619279"] Managers have such a small effect on the season overall (Maaaaybe +/- a win or 2 over 162), ousting Matheny now does little to nothing. But whatever the +/- is for managers, Matheny is very much the absolute bottom. A bad front office manifests itself in many ways (a Chris Davis contract, perpetually bad teams AND farm systems ala the Royals, backwards trade values like the Shelby Miller for the entire Diamondbacks farm system, the whole of the Detroit Tiger's contracts under Dombroski, the Braves cheating on international signings, etc.), but Mozeliak's ill-timed comments don't really muster much thought towards "bad front office". I mean under his 11 season helm, the Cardinals haven't won less than 83 games and have won a world series and been there twice. Perpetual competitiveness on a mid market team with no bad contracts (Fowler is quickly morphing into one, though) is something a "bad front office" wouldn't be capable of. [/QUOTE]
