I know Waino is a long-time Cardinal favorite, but has he watched him the past two seasons.
He is beyond being on his last legs and with the Cardinals' pitching depth in the farm system he could be their eighth or ninth best starter.
I was going to give him until Memorial Day to show he's still viable and if he didn't then banish him to the bullpen or run him over with a truck to land him on the DL to finish out his $21 million contract.
And my owner's No. 2 demand is to sign him to an extension?

No love for Waino?
I signed him, but mainly because he's a team leader. He actually pitched quite well in 2018 for me, but had to have season ending surgery and now I'm not sure if he will make it back.
I'll probably get him into the bullpen at some point in 2019 when he comes back - I need his leadership as we have been horrible in 2019 and Molina is struggling to keep the locker room functioning.
