Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...

I think LaRussa has a lot of power, and probably more than most managers. LaRussa made it known that he wanted Duncan in the Majors, and in the lineup. He even got into a mini feud with the Mad Hungarian when he defended Duncan. If the GM sends him to the minors against TLR' wishes,then things get even worse. LaRussa would probaby keep requesting that he be brought back up. The only way to fix things was to trade him. Most Cardinals fans believe the orders came from ownership, because things were getting ugly.
