I got to meet Stan the man once. I was just at an elevator by the offices and he came around the corner to get on the elevator. Circa late 80’s. Was as nice as he could be. Shook everyone’s hand and we talked about the season. About 7 of us in the elevator. Not a one asked for an autograph.

Very cool story. He was my Dad's idol when growing up so all I heard was stories about "The Man" when I was a child.

Bengie Molina today on @101espn talking about Yadi’s desire to manage the St. Louis Cardinals and kicked around the idea of a staff that would include Albert Pujols as hitting coach and Adam Wainwright as pitching coach.

DeWitt would be elated.
Because this is just the most bizarre little incestuous organization this side of the Belichick era Patriots. These guys make my head hurt most days...

Why as a Hall of Famer type player want to manage? That is just asking to ruin any goodwill you had as a player

All that travel, the constant grind. So you can make a couple million/season tops when you've made $200+ million over the course of a career? I just can't see how that would appeal to them. And ultimately if they realize that AFTER they get the job, they'll just start mailing it in. And that's not good for anyone either.

Molina saw managers hours and grief they put up with daily. He sucks, he ruins his reputation in STL. Yet, he still wants to manage? I guess they miss the competition and don’t know what to do with their lives post playing days.

So let me get this right... we are actively trading Arenado and Matz but want to keep Helsley? Hopefully that is just posturing.

If they keep Helsley, you'll know that Mozeliak is still running the big league roster.

When was it ever said that he wasn't going to be this next year? Everything I have seen or heard is that 2025 is his last and then he will move on to another position in the club.
