Jerksticks Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I can't wait for a few years from now to find out if the cubs used all these bullets correctly. Even if some pan out, none project to be as good as Sale or Abreu. Bryant could still bust with the bat and be a negative defender. This could all blow up in their face, on the new jumbo screen.

Harry Chappas Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well the cub rebuild model is up 3-0 not sure if this is a godo or bad thing. One thing that may be a stumbling block is that baseball is shifting to a pitching and defense game and none of those guys are pitching and defense kind of guys.

Didn't know you could just buy a rooftop without buying the rest of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 09:04 AM) Didn't know you could just buy a rooftop without buying the rest of the building. I meant the businesses which include the buildings. People don't actually live in most of those anymore. It is actually kind of funny, the Cubs being so bad, and the team erecting new signs and scoreboards are putting the rooftop owners in such a bind financially where the Cubs will get a better deal from them, than had they actually been fielding a good team and people were willing to pay the price of watching from 600 feet away. Crane Kenny said last year, the lack of tose signs cost the Cubs $60 million. I am pretty sure they could have all the rooftop buildings for less than that. Another thing I read was this renovation is only going to pay down the debt they took out buying the team.

fathom Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I have a feeling the Cubs are going to be "interested" in every top FA. With that said, they have a chance to be scary good in the next few years if they add the right pieces. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...-russell-martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
