[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1797604, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/benjamin-hochman/hochman-capturing-the-importance-of-john-mozeliaks-deadline-moves-for-cardinals/article_bffcd8f8-c593-5d13-bfc4-2474d3d93675.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Benjamin%20Hochman']Benjamin Hochman[/URL] John Mozeliak, who is forever the architect of a World Series champion, annually builds a team that contends for the playoffs. But the St. Louis Cardinals have not won a game in the National League Championship Series since 2014. That year, they won one. That’s a lot of years of being close, but not that close. Now, cracking the playoff code is tricky. Heck, even with their payroll, the Yankees haven’t even been to a World Series since 2009. So in St. Louis, here we go again, another chance for the Cardinals to attempt to win title No. 12. And while this column could have a short shelf life — especially if Jose Quintana is shelled in Game 1 — Mozeliak deserves credit for not only building the 2022 team, but also bolstering this club in early August. In the days and hours before the trade deadline, the Cards' president of baseball operations traded for Quintana and Jordan Montgomery. “I’m not sure it’s talked about enough — it was an unbelievable trade deadline for us,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday, prior to the team’s postseason workout. Quite simply, Quintana had a 2.01 ERA in his 12 St. Louis starts and Montgomery had a 3.11 ERA in 11. [/QUOTE]
