With the live sports hiatus in North America continuing into its third month, one popular way for sports networks to fill the void has been replaying old, memorable games.

A Little Chat With John Mozeliak

If you’ve followed any of the Cardinal bloggers for very long, you know that every year since 2011 we’ve had a chance to spend the day at the ballpark and have a Q&A with John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt III.

This offseason was the third or fourth time we’ve been able to do that and after a bit of a delay, we’ve gotten our responses back. I always go with the strategy of throwing a number of questions out there to see which one he’ll answer. Sadly, he didn’t comment on my Tyler Lyons question this year, but he did take on two of mine. Let’s look at them with a bit of commentary.
