That is because a system is only as good as the people who are running it. The Cubs system isn't some separate entity that operates on its own. It's not some amusement park with the same old rides no matter who owns and operates the thing. The system is whoever is making the decisions to draft and sign potential prospects and who is developing those players. A change in leadership from incompetent buffoons to pretty damn successful people does automatically make the system better. If they suddenly morph into morons somehow, that will be a problem, but I don't know why somebody would assume that would happen. -
I'm disappointed in those waves moving back and forth. Looks lazy.

The Cubs have no track record. "The Cubs" track record has to be differentiated by who was running them. You can't look at the Cubs organization right now and say "they have a history of developing some pitchers but no hitters" just because that is was the Andy MacPhail era Cubs did.

What's a reasonable time frame? Kendall suffered his in the first half of the season and missed the rest, same with Jenkins. Moises missed a season. And none of these guys are pitchers, nor were they fat or rehabbing another injury coming in. They were all athletes who were never the same physically after the injury. Joba is a slob who was already coming back from TJS. This is a going to be a major setback to that recovery, and now he has to worry about 2 weak spots whenever he does start pitching again.

He's preparing to be arrested in the Sam Hurd case.

didn't we owe him money if we cut him? They owed him a workout bonus if they kept him through the summer

that's odd

Actually Castro should still be in the minors. He should've played at least full seasons in AA and AAA, before maybe getting a cup of coffee with the ML team this year. You wouldn't want to start that arby/FA clock too soon :roll: He was called up back then the Cubs used to try and win. They aren't trying now so the scenarios have changed. Plus, Castro is a future hall of famer. Rizzo is just a nice player who will probably have a nice little career. You need to maximize his value to the organization.

what the hell? seriously?

I'm coming at it from more of an occupy wall street anti 1% angle. That money should go to teachers and fire fighters and to keeping tickets low so people who really love the team can watch the games. I don't want to live in a world where my son can't afford season tickets.

it's not about losing him

First off, you really shouldn't listen to the radio. Secondly, there's a hell of a lot of people touting the "pay the man" line over and over and over.
-
And that's meatball opinion I was talking about. He could easily get more than 20 mil on the open market, and he's knows it and is frustrated..especially considering his hands are tied. But he's not on the open market so that point is completely meaningless. It's the rules of the game. If he doesn't want to play fine, but he won't get paid at all that way.
-
I don't know, but in the Bears favor, none of those three are/should be getting top dollar. Cutler and Marshall are a good notch below the biggest cap hits at their respective positions. It's going to be really tough in 2 years though.
-
You don't see the point or you disagree with that line of thinking? The point is glaringly obvious.

I hope not.
