And to clarify, my desire of these huge signings would be predicated on being indicative of the Cubs actually being able to act like the grown-ass ballin' big market team they should be. I only want them spending big once they can actually eat said spending when necessary a la the Dodgers or the Angels.

 

I know I've said this a bunch of times, but there are only so many Pujols misses a team gets before they can't spend for a while. It just seems like many on this board -- I acknowledge it's bad to make such broad generalizations -- want every single big name free agent each season no matter the years or the price without thinking much of the overall picture.

 

And then many times a few years later, it's like, damn, glad we didn't sign that guy.

Well, some of us clamor for all of them because the Cubs are signing none of them. I don't actually want them to have ALL of those guys; again, it would be ideally indicative of them being willing and able to build up and strengthen a team through means other dumpster diving and from the ground up via internal development. Big spending, more trades, internal development...I want it all, baby. I WANT IT ALL.

I understand.

 

I'm pretty bias because the way the Cubs are doing it is the exact why I love to see a baseball team built. I want to draft well, develop and then sign our own good players to big contracts a few years before they are set to hit free agency and before they start their decline. And keep that going (Easier said than done).

 

The Cardinals did such a great job with Pujols. They used all his great years, had him help them win championships, and then let some other bastard reward him for all that past performance.

 

Alright, I'm just rambling now.

I want the Cubs to swing their giant dick around and outspend everyone for everything while developing a ready-made crop of young players to fill the gaps. I don't want to be the 2008 Rays, I want to be the 1998 Yankees.

Yeah, I'm sure glad we got nothing instead. If we'd wasted money on those guys, we might have ended up in last place for years on end. Bullet dodged.
