It's ****ing astounding how different the rotation is from then. I still don't understand how Walt thought Wells could be a capable #2 when he had done nothing in his career previously to prove that. And there was nothing in the minors.

Walt was desperate. As the game wisened up, his ability to extract sick value in trades lessened, which made him a less valuable GM. If you look at his success, his firing would be a major red flag for most organizations, but the Cardinals made the right choice.
I don't even want to think about some of the bloated contracts we'd carry if Jocketty was still here.
