With the Cards signing Felipe Lopez to a contract, John Mozeliak proves again that thus far he has been the right choice to be GM of the Cardinals. Lopez batted .310 for Arizona and Milwaukee last season, and he has indicated that he really enjoyed his stint with the Cards in 2008. After recently firing [...]
