The Cardinals can excuse doing one of the above but not both. Not with their system being as ungodly mediocre as it is and the team not really being championship caliber anyway, even with Greinke.
The Astros can make that move because they're loaded at the major league level AND have a farm system that is both deeper and has a higher end than ours.

Maybe someone in the organization needs to hack into the Astros computers to see him they handle their system.......
