Walt's hands are tied......
Walt's deals in off season and at the deadline over the last 10 years cannot be touched by any other GM. That said, the Cardinal MLB backup and AAA ready for majors talent is now so thin, he's got very little to play with. It's easy to do good deals when you have something to work with. Unfortunately, I think the Cards system is so thin, it's only gonna be minor deals at best. I don't know how to fix it, but to get good players, you have to give good prospects and the Cards are short. I live in DFW, so I follow the Rangers and their MLB and AAA prospect talent is light years beyond what the Cards can offer. They got Carlos Lee for guys that they'd given up on or were never gonna be's. Their best Minor League pitching is still intact, as well as others on the MLB roster that are expendable. I guess my point is, you can't make good trades unless you have something to offer. I'm afraid the Cards prospects in the minors is so empty, we're gonna have to live with what we got for a couple of years. And that sucks.

Walt made the organizational bed
The latest example of their philosophy is the trading away of the youngster Luna for a two-month rental at 2B whose production will be an insignificant upgrade over the current platoon.
The one area where his hands have been tied was in cultivating Latin American talent. The Cardinals have finally opened some academies down there.
