Cardinals: 3 reasons Yadier Molina would make a better than Oli Marmol

Why Yadier Molina would be a better manager than Oli Marmol: He would challenge management.

While Molina has always been quiet, fans know there was strength behind that easygoing attitude. It’s a strength that would challenge management in many ways.

Molina would not conduct business in the same way as Marmol has through prompting from Mozeliak. Molina wouldn’t allow for public criticism of the players, he would handle things behind closed doors. If Molina were to share externally, it would be in expressing the things he needs, especially if those needs were not being met. It would seem that if a move needed to be made, Molina would be straightforward.

Molina came up when Tony LaRussa was manager of the Cardinals and likely learned a lot about management and how to get things done from him. It’s not to say Molina would be a return of LaRussa, but like LaRussa, Molina wouldn’t be afraid to speak out about needs.
