Wonder if we can get him away from the West Coast. He's worked for the Athletics, then the Dodgers and now the Padres. I’d love to see Paul DePodesta in St. Louis.

It sounds like that is what Dewitt wants as well. I would love to see a development-focused guy brought in. It sounds like that is what Dewitt wants as well.

If he was mainly able to just focus on the draft, that doesn't make him the best overall GM candidate. We need someone that can do the WHOLE job, while being in concordance with whoever runs the minor league draft and development. Not saying White can't, just wondering if he had the opportunity to show that while with LA. If not, it sounds like he might be a better replacement for Luhnow than Jocketty....

Walt, thanks for the terrific run of success - 1996 to 2006 made this Cards fan awfully happy. Good luck to you. Wow, end of an era.

Bad enough Morris and his stats and salary, but to give up anything of value is just mindblowing. Logan White is #1 on my list.

Amazing track record in drafting talent and viewed as an up and comer. Nothing against Mozeliak, but he is one of Walt's boys' is he not? How does hiring Walt's right hand man settle the "rift" in the front office if that was indeed the main reasoning behind all of this? I don't see Moz getting the job.
