@bleacherbum099 I don’t think it’s necessarily a fear thing as they need more consistency, they need a superstar player. Pete I think will be an overall superstar but he will never get consistent enough offense. Someone like KB, D Lee, Aramis even. They don’t have that.

@dwest___ 1. New medical staff
2. New org hitting philosophy
3. Legit superstar player (instead of spending $20 million on the Jamos of the world, spend 30/40 million on someone that’s game changing, and spend less somewhere else.
4. I get the budget I’d rather see more $ on scouting/dev

@ELPlethora Just wait til after he wins the title, it will be even worse.

[Raymon @raymon322]

@Itswow They should at least limit them to maybe 1 a quarter.

[Raymon @raymon322]

@PrazMaster Molina should be higher, also Edmonds would have been number 1 for a long time but he was the only cub who gave a shit in 08’

I wouldn’t hate this?

Phil proposes a Wicks for Falter trade

@bleacherbum099 This is at least a smart one. But I agree

[Raymon @raymon322]

@bleacherbum099 They don’t make the playoffs nor win a series with David Ross as manager last year.

[Raymon @raymon322]

@RobertONeill31 IMO I think more teams should do this against them

[Raymon @raymon322]

@craphole05 I think honestly they are going through a pitching one. That’s why there are as many injuries they have had. Unfortunately that is a process. The hitting one though, seemingly has been broken since 2017.

[Raymon @raymon322]

I decided to make a thread on my Cubs thoughts. As everyone else I am worried. But not even about this year, but the next few. And I’m not taking shots any 1 player, just being realistic. First let me say this, the issue right now is absolutely not a Craig Counsell issue.

[Raymon @raymon322]

@dwest___ @bleacherbum099 Realistically though I don’t see how you can give up a lot anyway. Unless you are getting multiple years in return. Because even if this team does turn it around, do you really mortgage what little they have for a quick exit?

[Raymon @raymon322]

@bleacherbum099 I just mentioned that exact point. I would rather them spend 20 million less if that means revamping all of the scouting and development side

[Raymon @raymon322]

All in all the cubs need to be better with development even more than drafting. Because it’s becoming a huge problem. And we can always say Tom needs to spend more. He does, but it’s not happening. So fix it from within.

[Raymon @raymon322]

On average(at best) talent, and put that into development of the minor leagues. They need to be more aggressive. I have thought I liked Kantrovitz but I worry he did create those Cardinal teams that really looking back did not accomplish anything.
