That exact line was used against DM for years. Then he won the WS. And suddenly it disappeared.

What evidence do you want? It’s a rumor I’ve heard a few different places on the internet.
Do you want a Cardinals beat writer expounding on it? That doesn’t exist. No reporter is going to write about it.
It’s pretty clear he played favorites for veteran players, continuing to run them out through extreme struggles at the expense of PT for bright young talent (see Oscar Taveras and Allen Craig for one example). Wong and Grichuk also have lost PT to uninspiring veterans and were given little rope.
I didn’t connect that to his bible study group until reading rumors about that on forums I visit. Don’t remember if DJ and this crew have talked about it, but I’ve seen it in other places. Maybe he just likes shitty veterans... but its awfully convenient that guys known to attend his study group get huge amounts of leeway from him on performance.
It’s a rumor and I’ll fully admit that.
Whatever the reason, his track record with veterans and young players is atrocious and not the type of leadership KC will need moving forward.
