Luhnow Reaction

I have no insider information as to what kind of GM Mr. Luhnow will be, but I do know what kind of organization he came from. It pains me to say, because the Cardinals hate burns deep within my soul, but their organization is first class. They have been producing solid major league talent for years. I am envious of their situation. Luhnow has been a part of that situation. I want to believe that he knows what it takes to build a top flight organization. I walked away from listening to his press conference feeling like he has a firm grasp of reality. He knows what he is walking into. I am anxious to see what he does. Turning around a baseball club is different from any other sport except maybe hockey. Players are drafted and spend time in the minors and sometimes develop into major league talent. The process will be a grind, and patience will be needed. The good news is that the dilussion that this team is "ready to be a champion" is gone. With the right moves, we will be a champion in the future, and when we are truly a piece or two away, I believe that Mr. Crane will spend the money to put us over the top.
