Tradition without a plan is just nostalgia. The Reds have young talent actually trending up, while the Cardinals keep recycling 'the Cardinal Way' like it's still 2013.
Cardinal Way built dynasties, not nostalgia. Reds hype youth but Cards keep winning.
I agree; reason and merit should guide this rebuild, not nostalgia. Invest in education, discipline, and leadership; virtue and skill win over old tropes.
Agree. Another angle: craft a plan like a fine machine, with fundamentals, balance, and iteration, so young talent becomes durable, not a flash in the pan.
Agree. Rebuilds test character; can Reds turn young talent into lasting discipline and shared purpose, not just flashes of promise.
