Walt won a WS his second to last season before getting booted to keep Luhnow.
Mo doesn’t care about winning a WS at this point in his tenure, similar to King Carl near the end just wanting butts in the seats without doing a rebuild. Walt said **** the future if it means contending today.

The major distinction between Pioli and Mozeliak is that Mozeliak took over a recent WS champion with a loaded farm system. Pioli took over a team that Herm Edwards had steered off the cliff.
Can you imagine how bad this team would be had Mozeliak stepped into the same sort of situation Pioli did? No Pujols, Carpenter, Molina or Wainwright? The guy's first managerial hire was Mike !@#$ing Matheny - how's that not stride for stride with Todd Haley for raw stupidity?
Mozeliak is nothing but a product of the labors of smarter men.
