I just can't get myself to care about the possibility of him going elsewhere and shredding creation because I know it won't happen here.
And the reason why they won't fire Mabry is obvious - Mike Matheny.
What sense is there in worrying about a player we'd have never had in STL? It's like people that got bent out of shape when Flowers went to SD - why? He wasn't going to be worth a shit in KC anymore; his ability simply didn't match the coaching staff/scheme. I'd say the same thing about people that are still pissing and moaning about Rich Gannon as though he'd have been the same guy under Marty that he was under Gruden, but that's just picking at (stupid) scabs.
The Cardinals should be willing to pay for what they'll have, not what they'd miss out on. They were in the driver's seat for Joe Maddon and refused to move on from a braindead concussion case to get him so it's obvious that we're stuck with Matheny until he loses 90 games. As long as we're stuck with Matheny, we'll be stuck with Mabry.
So why worry about who Jason Heyward
could be? He won't be that here.
