Spot on Dream.

This is the talk of a desperate organization simply interested in putting fans back in the seats.

Molina is a great baseball player but another Manager for the Cardinals without any Big League managing experience is not about a return to winning, post season Cardinal success.

Carlin Dead but dreading the product DeCheap will put on the field next season

I agree with both of you. And if you hire Yadi, you also need to be prepared to eventually fire Yadi. Yadi is a legend and it’s best for both parties that he not be given a job like this one until he has proven capable. It’s not something to guess on. A bench coach role, with an initial focus on catching, pitch calling strategy, etc., seems like a better idea.

Exactly, Mang. Bring him into a supporting role, and let the young players work alongside him instead of referring to him as their supervisor. But it's Molina's ego that needs an adjustment, I think.
