November 06 If Albert Pujols Takes the Astros Job, WHO Takes the HEAT in St. Louis?
Albert Pujols is set to interview for the Houston Astros manager job, and the shockwaves could reach St. Louis before they reach Houston. If Yadier Molina follows him, how much heat lands on Chaim Bloom, Oli Marmol and the DeWitts?
Bernie Miklasz breaks down what a Pujols hire would mean for the St. Louis Cardinals, from fan backlash and ticket sales to the looming MLB lockout. He explains why Randy Flores leaving for Houston was never something Bloom should have blocked, how St. Louis native Jim Crane has matched the DeWitts in pennants and titles, and why he would take Pujols over Molina as a big league manager.
He also answers the critics who say Bloom should have hired Pujols, looks at why the anger at Marmol may never fade, and asks whether Cardinals fans can let go of the past.
