The Atlanta Braves serve as the model franchise for teams that want to draft well, sign the right international prospects, develop their young talent and retain the best of for the long haitul.
That is the franchise the Cardinals’ management team should emulate, since Bill DeWitt Jr. will never match the San Diego Padres, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies for spending.
And after watching the Braves school the Cardinals this week at Busch Stadium, Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado and Co. should emulate their counterparts on the playing field as well.
What a show the Braves put on.
