    you have to assume anybody on the list at this point is done in terms of their chances to be a major league contributor.

    Well yeah, it won't be exactly the % of the valuation.

    While that's true for right now, the articles have mentioned the Ricketts wanting to make sure they maintain control into at least the "next generation". I'm not sure how it works anyways since it's owned by the trust, but my assumption is at the end of the day each Rickett right now has a ~23.75% stake and depending on how many kids they all have next in line, they want to be sure a couple family numbers couldn't jump ship so to speak and easily sell the club because ownership is so diluted. So maybe we'd only see up to about 20% or so depending on how they figure the numbers out or how the subsequent ownership is outlined in the trust docs. Well I was being a little facetious with the 49% comment, I doubt they actually do it that way. Right now they could theoretically sell a couple $60m chunks of 5% stakes in the company. There should not be much difficulty in maintaining control via the trust no matter how diluted the trust itself gets with offspring.

    If they are holding him out for shoulder/weather reasons that would not do any better.

    It's pretty standard stuff for opening day/home openers.

    Gotta be nice to have a reasonably priced flight over there. Every time I'm in Maui it's amazingly obvious who all the people from California are. humblebrag

    I really don't think selling a minority stake in the team is meaningful in any way. It's just smart business. They bought the thing for ~$800m and some value it at ~$1.2B, why not take a little off the top while maintaining complete control? If they are smart they will keep selling off up to 49% of the company as the price rises.

    I think the point is none of them played as high as AAA as of the end of 2013. Drafted in 2011 but not in AAA by 2013 doesn't seem that crazy to me.

    Well, it's been four years since "Nobody knows where the puck is ... it's in the back of the net!" and it still feels pretty darn good. It would feel a lot less good if it wasn't for last year.

    It was mostly fun during the season because you thought they had a chance to win. Because it was the best Cubs team in decades. If you knew they wouldn't win off the bat it wouldn't have been fun. It was fun because they were winning, a lot.

    This cannot be overstated. A Yankees radio broadcast is a painful thing to listen to. Sterling is a cartoon character and Suzyn Waldman is terrible at her job. They are also the biggest homer sycophants in the business.

    I love that a high of 50 qualifies as "warmer".

    If Pat Burrell isn't playing the Cubs have a chance.

    that's weird i'd probably be more than happy winning 90 games a year even with a no WS guarantee See, I think that's weird. There's one winner each year. Winning 90 and not winning it all does nothing for me. In fact, it just hurts. So you are one of those people that didn't enjoy 2008?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Which is meaningless, because you can't know that. But that's what he asked. no it isn't
  22. jersey cubs fan
    define too many. To make me stop liking the Cubs and then not be able to enjoy the world series? Probably infinity. To say that they've done a good job running the team? Well, that is going to depend on what else happens.
