Amer said: Rasmus is a boatload of problems. He has the attitude that he's God's gift to baseball and his only real coach will only ever be his dad, not the skipper of the ballclub that employs him. Unless something changes he will only ever be a mediocre to above average player. He didn't just conflict with LaRussa, he was conflicting with all of the veterans on the club.� You can critique LaRussa all day long, and you'd be right. It doesn't change the fact that he came in and the Cardinals went from being a rather poor ballclub that missed the playoffs every year to being a club that regularly contends for the central divison and has won a couple pennants and a world series.�
