  • The Legacy of John Mozeliak

    John Mozeliak will live on as a historic hero in St. Louis aura. He grabbed onto the brass ring for many years that encapsulated St. Louis to its a best and worst moments in franchise history.

    Mozeliak was able to overcome the Chicago Cubs throughout most of the early 2000’s. He served excellent in establishing a great scouting rapport within the St. Louis front office and Colorado as well.

    He was significant in bringing stars such as Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, and Adam Wainwright to town. Not to mention, my favorite such as Chris Carpenter. There were some true poised players on Mozeliak’s roster. They all played the St. Louis way.

    Later, it got crushed.

    Theo Epstein of the Chicago Cubs stepped into power along with Jed Hoyer and won the 2016 World Series for the first time in a 108-year drought. They established the roots of the 2004 Boston Red Sox, a little bit, and turned it up a notch by adding Kyle Schwarber, Kris Bryant, and many other stars.

    The St. Louis Cardinals, since then, have been chasing to Chaim Bloom for power with prospects and Sonny Gray. The stretch of Jhonny Peralta, Peter Bourjos, and Adam Wainwright could not work out.

    Clayton Kershaw, meanwhile, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have been extremely successful for a long time, now, and currently the Washington Nationals want to hire a long-time successful executive similar to Mozeliak. Could this be the wonderful structure?

  • Stone Unturned

    Stone Unturned

    It is a smooth sailing Monday afternoon in Santa Monica, CA. Nothing could wrong beside the potential earthquakes that surround and locate the area from time to time. Gavin Stone is a major league pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has been attending this rodeo for less than two years and executing fine.

    This comes off the heels of a Jack Flaherty trade, and injury stints to River Ryan Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Clayton Kershaw. It cannot go without mentioning, Bobby Miller and Walker Buehler have thrown their arms out.

    There is a stone unturned however in the stretch of August to October and his name is Gavin Stone. Stone has pitched a solid 3.63 ERA, 4.04 FIP and lately struck out 10 batters in a seven innings pitched win over Seattle.

    Stone accredited Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior for overcoming easy adjustments as well as learning from Clayton Kershaw. Stone has cleaned some things on his delivery, in the case of not spinning the ball off.

    Bobby Miller was the Dodgers hopeful delivery man last year but considering him and Buehler have combined for 17 ineffective starts, Kershaw is back as always, Yamamoto will likely return, and Tyler Glasnow should be ready.

    The race is on for October.
