Keith Law:

The Cardinals, meanwhile, have made a terrible organizational move by allowing their aging manager to run off the best hitting prospect the team has produced since drafting Albert Pujols. Whether La Russa was mostly responsible or only shares responsibility with Rasmus and his father, it is clear that La Russa’s my-way-or-the-highway mentality has hurt the organization for this year and several years to come with the Rasmus fiasco, and unfortunately the front office’s decision to retain La Russa for 2011 has come back to haunt them. Rasmus has the potential to be a 5- to 6-win player at his peak, and there’s no manager in baseball who can produce that kind of value.

I'm on record as against the Rasmus trade. Until TLR made those negative comments publically about Rasmus. We had no choice at that point. If you would have told me that trading Rasmus would get us a World Series Championship. I'd have said.....WTF are you waiting for, trade his ass.
