Give Jocketty Time!

Unlike Bowden and Krivsky the guy has done it before.  He obviously knows talent, understands player development ( started Arizona Fall League and Dominican Developmental League ) and already has a good relationship with ownership.  This team has been saddled with one-dimensional players who have no leader since Larkin retired.  In Jocketty's third full season with the Cards he produced a Divisional Championship.  Check the Pedigree below.

Walt Jocketty was hired as General Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals on October 14, 1994. When Anheuser-Busch sold the team following the 1995 season, the new ownership chose to retain Jocketty. He was instrumental in bringing new manager Tony La Russa, whom he had worked with in Oakland, to St. Louis.

During his time as Cardinal GM, the Cardinals compiled six National League Central Division championships (1996, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006), two National League Championships (2004 and 2006), and one World Series Championship (2006). The Cardinals had seven straight winning seasons under Jocketty, including 100+ win seasons in 2004 and 2005. Jocketty has been named the Executive of the Year in MLB twice, in 2000 and 2004.
