The Cardinals business model was always to see how an outside player performed with the birds on the bat, how he did under pressure, what kind of teammate he was, how he interfaced with the manager and coaches, how he interfaced with the front office, how he was with the fans, and how he molded with the community before making a long term financial commitment. They have strayed from that model with several outsiders in the past few years and it’s jumped up and bit them. Mo needed to deepen his diligence before signing them. Cards will be more careful in the future. Getting players like Ozuna, Leone, O’Neill, Munoz, Schrock, Greene, etc. gives them a needed look see.
