If it's true they don't have the money to make a strong offer, then I agree. Otherwise, what may sound like excuse making to some could actually be the lack of whitewashing the complexities of the business and a lack of angry pessimism. Even if they have the money they're still way behind the curve in terms of what they can offer, unless they have the money to basically annihilate any other team's deal.

That's a lot of excuse-making for baseball limbo when it would seemingly be much easier to say "what's mainly out of their hands is how bad the Ricketts are as owners and as such there's not much of a pitch they can make to a FA outside of money."

Olive Garden is the true OG apparently.

Who is the Cubs #1 Prospect?
Sammy Sofa replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
More seriously, FWIW, in reference to the battered fan syndrome thing, the last time the Cubs had a farm system this highly regarded, the results were pretty good - be it by trade or the players actually becoming contributors (if not short lived due to injury and awful luck and stuff). It's more the awful luck thing than anything else; I hate that I've effectively become a variation of the "ONLY THE COBS" crowd, but sure as [expletive] seems like having a new FO and new owners has done little to alleviate the sense of "if can go wrong for the Cubs it will go wrong." Hell, if anything, it seems to even gotten worse. I hope these guys kick that feeling right in the balls. -

He is, but the racist fan in me trusts the cracker more. -

Battered Fan Syndrome. It'll feel like a miracle if one of them pans out. -
IT'S THE LEGENDARY BAG OF BALLS: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6XXv2EvhZjc/Us9KBjQoE6I/AAAAAAAAAIk/ljX9IMu8LDE/s1600/CCI.mcglothlen.potato.jpg

Holy [expletive], I had no idea this was a card: http://chicagocubscards.info/images/cards/watermarks/0/83/500/8347_1_500x500.jpg I was at that game and it gave Young Me NIGHTMARES. I couldn't play baseball for like a [expletive] year seeing a bloody-faced Andre Dawson staggering around like some kind of wounded Sasquatch.

Holy [expletive], Plesac is finally leaping...home.
-
Great, we've managed to effectively trick everyone into thinking we're not a major market.

The Cubs not signing Maddux was really my first moment of true heartbreak/anger towards the team. '84 was my first year and '89 obviously was frustrating, but that was the moment when something burned out forever.

Bryant. I'm terrified Baez is going to be an epic bust. -
YES, DAVD, I KNOW HE'S NOT MARRIED.
-
I don't want Bryant Sandberging the joint up behind the scenes. When Baez bangs his wife he better shut the [expletive] up.

I'm showing nearly four inches after reading that. Play your cards right and I'll show all five.

Plus, who knows; maybe signing someone like Ellsbury would show someone like Tanaka this is maybe a team worth signing with instead of a hot garbage fire with a terrifying future. I mean, I know people like to say guys are going to sign wherever the money is, but when there's multiple teams with money to burn you have to actually have something that makes someone want to come here, and making moves where it looks like you're maybe trying (and obviously Ellsbury alone wouldn't be that) could actually go a long way. Seriously, why would anyone here think the Cubs have a real shot at Tanaka? The terrible team that could be even worse this year? Basically completely gambling on prospects for the future? The ownership that can't even fix up the laughably bad facilities?
-
Woo hoo! I hate this time of year until spring training. At least we have the Cubs Convention coming up for a quick reprieve of propoganda. After that come the dog days until those first ST pics. Holy hell, the convention; what the [expletive] is even going to be the big event/unveiling?
-
My Bryant is much more interesting.
-
White jock. Maybe he's white trash, in which case I rescind the "entitled" part. Either way, I hope he's a douchebag; the best pro athletes usually are. Plus it's more entertaining, despite David's hurt feelings. It's the opposite of the truth, though. Pay attention more. Guys like Pujols are the exception; most of the sports world's super stars are monsters. He needs to douche it up big time.

He's an entitled white pro ball player with two horrible lacrosse player first names for his first AND last name. I can't to see him be a monster to baseball, but the douche side is strong with this one.

It was a pretty safe bet the 2013 team would be better than 2012, too. And they were! 70 wins, here we come!
-
It's not like he's forced to live here in the winter, for [expletive]'s sake.

I think at any given moment half of the posters here are failed or wannabe sports journalists.
