I like the Luhnow hire and the people he's brought on so far but I do feel a little grumble in the back of my mind about him seemingly double dipping in the Cardinals well. I'm ok with it for now because he's getting or at least trying to get the best baseball minds that he knows, and what better place to get them from than the team that has brought up so many players to the big leagues in recent years. I'm only cautious about a GM acquiring people from his old club because Ed Wade gave Philly just about every piece of gold we had and its made me a little paranoid. Not saying we didn't get a good return, but I am saying we finished last in baseball last season. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT WE DO IN THE DRAFT!!!!!!!
