I'm a long-time Cardinals fan and couldn't care less where the franchise is located.
I can create a 'fantasy' FRONT OFFICE, if you'd like, festooned with names of people who, like 99% of posters, know nothing about.
As am I, since my fandom dates back to the mid-seventies. My father, originally from St. Louis, taught me to root for the Cardinals (and I'll never forgive him for this, ha!

)
But in any event, I think it speaks well of your fandom that you continued to support the Cardinals even after they moved from STL (and Chicago? Do you go back that far?). I appreciate you sticking with the team over all of these years.
I think in this thread we're exploring the idea of what would be the 'optimal' front office (using best available information), and I'll add that during my long tenure on this board
@QuebecCard, I've come to appreciate the diversity of opinions expressed in these types of discussions. It would be so dreadfully dull if we all agreed with each other!
Also, while I've found that another poster occasionally needs to be cuffed for an underinformed or not very well thought out opinion, I've also decided the board could do without me consistently expressing contempt, and that if I still chose to do so, it marginalized my presence here.
Anyway, just wanted to share those thoughts with you, and I hope you have a great rest of your weekend!
