Theo Epstein anyone?

There is no way JR gives anyone the authority or cash money Theo would require. 

Serious teams looking for a General Manager to turn things around don't go looking within the organization like the Sox.   They seek an innovator, someone to spend the owners money to build a winning team.  Those teams shop at Whole Foods or Sunrise while the Sox shop at Food For Less and Walmart.

Theo hasn't been any good since the slot system and INT caps went into effect.  His best tools were throwing gobs of money at amateur talent.  No way he would come here to work under JR's constraints.

Not really, he sold a lot of Cub assets during the rebuild to acquire draft picks and prospects, then they did their homework in the scouting department and drafted well. They actually developed their players in the minor's and taught the players "The Cub Way" of doing things..  I believe he put together a list or hand-out of "The Cub Way" as a guide for the minor and major league players to follow and what was expected of them in the Big Leagues. It's called accountability, not letting the inmates run the asylum like the Sox way of doing things.
