ST. LOUIS -- John Mozeliak stood at the podium Friday, just over five hours before the St. Louis Cardinals' game with the Philadelphia Phillies, and admitted what became painfully obvious during an 0-7 road trip.
"I feel like standing up here and doing nothing and hoping for another outcome is not useful," he said.
That's why St. Louis' general manager made a boatload of moves. The most prominent among them was designating former All-Star shortstop Jhonny Peralta for assignment after activating second baseman Kolten Wong (elbow) from the 10-day disabled list.
