The St. Louis Cardinals plan to play the young dudes in 2025, giving them a much fuller opportunity instead of spending and wasting money on average-level free agents that won't elevate the quality of the team. After seeing the Cardinals going in the wrong direction with an outdated and ineffective model that has produced the worst two-season winning percentage (.475) for the franchise since 1990-1991, I'm on board with plan.

Suppose the plan goes wrong? Suppose 2025 is a disaster and too many young players flop? Then what? Would it be time for a full rebuild under Chaim Bloom? Or in the worst-case scenario would the Cardinals go back to patching roster holes with mediocre additions? This is a longer video than normal but I had a lot of ground to cover. Hey, watch half of it when you can, then go back and watch the second half later on. Thanks.
