    well, there's a reaosn more people picked cj wilson over cc despite sabathia being a better pitcher. also, sabthia is always among the leaders in pitcher abuse points i just don't understand why you'd want to give huge money to a pitcher who is past his statistical prime when our priority is the future. this seems like a no brainer to me.

    Yeah look how right that turned out....All they did was win a WS on that arm that was so thoroughly abused by the Brewers, amirite? Any big contract can "seem" like it's a disaster in the making. You're really going to have to get over that at some point if you want to see the Cubs play with the big boys...hopefully this offseason. i'm fine with big contracts. just not big contracts to players who are over 30. this is exactly the kind of contract the cubs need to avoid right now, and im sure theo knows that. i'm definitely in the "we could possibly compete next year" camp, but at the same time i realize that the focus should be on the future and what we'll look like a few years from now. that's the priority. when we start to get really good i don't want to be burdened with a 34 year old sabathia who is still owed like 80 million bucks or something like that.

    giving sabathia a big contract seems like a disaster. weren't we all saying that when he signed with the yankees? and now he's 31. hellllll no

    there's only one guy on that list i want the cubs to pay for, and it's not the 31-34 year old Pujols i don't care if he is albert. i'm not too keen on giving anybody on the wrong side of 30 a 200 million dollar contract or whatever it will take to get him.

    Earlier you were criticizing the Red Sox for dragging this out, and yet you still say the Cubs should give up McNutt

    i have one question for Holldsworth's Mug aka cubsfans26- Why do you want Theo Epstein so much when virtually every baseball opinion you have goes against his way of thinking?

    there is going to be a nice selection of starting pitching in next year's free agency. Cole Hamels Matt Cain Zack Grienke Shaun Marcum John Danks as well as some decent back-of-the-rotation options.meanwhile, the cubs will have dempster, zambrano, and byrd coming off the books. an offense building around fielder/castro/jackson/soto and a rotation building around hamels/garza sounds pretty good (and extremely doable).

    ricketts needs to just stand his ground. no point on giving up anything of significant value. despite theo being under contract with boston, they still have zero leverage. with the entire shitstorm that has gone on in boston over the last couple weeks, there's no way they make it worse by holding theo hostage. he's ours and everyone knows it. cut the [expletive]
