Did anyone else read Saturdays Sun-Times when Epstein stated that the cubs should be able to compete for the division championship by 2015? With recent talk of wrigley renovations I intrepret Epstein as throwing in the towel for 2013 and 14 while concentrating on the renovations. sorry if I opened up another useless cub thread but was wondering if anybody else saw it.

Until they get some front line starting pitching, they aren't going anywhere.

Pretty much what I thought. I'm used to seeing cub management throw in the towel but they usually at least wait until two or three of their big name players go on the DL during the last week of spring training.

Don Elston, Bob Will, Dick Drott, Glenn Hobbie, Jerry Kindall, Danny Murphy, Dick Bertell, Billy Cowan, Calvin Koonce. It has been that way ever since I've been following baseball.

I always stay out of the Cubs thread but...
You cannot deny the talent/potential of Castro and Rizzo and maybe even Jackson. Although, I think the Cubs front office messed up calling Jackson up as soon as they did. Now Vitters may be a bust. I feel like he's been in their system for ten years now anyways. As someone already noted, until they have frontline starting pitching they're not going anywhere. I still cannot believe how easily the Cubs got Rizzo from the Padres. We should make a trade like that. Andrew Cashner? Really? Probably the Hoyer-Padres connection. |

Nothing new here. Theo has been talking about 2015 ever since he got into town.
The flaws in his plan have been discussed extensively already on WSI, so I won't reiterate them, but I will say my winning a Mega Millions Lottery drawing is a more likely event.

The Padres also acquired Yonder Alonso from the Reds which made Rizzo expendable. |

Cubs? Competitive?
The Sox will go through a full rebuilding cycle and be competitive before the Cubs are. |

2015 should be the goal.
Epstein will be in trouble if they aren't. |
