New GM, Same Ol' Deck-Chair Reshuffling

The PD gives us this news:

John Mozeliak reached outside the organization for the first time as Cardinals general manager Monday.

The club signed free-agent catcher Jason LaRue as the backup to Yadier Molina and added depth by agreeing with starting pitchers Dewon Brazelton and John Wasdin on minor-league contracts.

LaRue assumes the roster spot held by Gary Bennett the past two seasons. Brazelton, a former first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and Wasdin will bring major-league experience to the Memphis Redbirds rotation.

Well thank goodness...I was really starting to worry about that Memphis starting rotation.

I don't have any problem with the LaRue signing, actually. He might never recover offensively, but he can't be all that different from the dynamic tandem of Bennett & Stinnet.
