President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak discusses why the team hired Oliver Marmol as the new manger. Marmol also says he talked with Shildt after accepting the position.
Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak did the right thing by promoting bench coach Oli Marmol to manager.
Now Mozeliak must follow that correct call by giving him a full roster to deploy next season. That means no dead weight on the bench, no skittish rookies in the starting pitching rotation, and no untrustworthy relievers hiding in the back corner of the bullpen.
The Cardinals had a really good team at the end of last season.
