You guys are so funny. How can I take you guys serious, when you are cracking me up.

And yet if you ask a Cubs fan they'd say they have a top notch farm system. No we don't. Stop with this nonsense, right now. Most legit Cubs fans that follow the farm system, are VERY critical of the system, and quite frankly, we think it's an average system of prospects at best. So, IDK where you get this idea, but it's not the truth.

I wouldn't trust what BBTN and/or what Olney says. Look at what the Mets gave up for Santana. Do you think another team is going to give up more then what the Mets gave up for Santana? Mets gave up Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Kevin Mulvey and Phillip Humber to get Santana, in other words they gave up a RAW OFer (Gomez), a future potential #2 (Guerra), and two future back end starters (Mulvey and Humber), not a sure fire, can't miss prospect in the best. Some good prospects, but not one, you know for sure will be a future star. So don't count out the Cubs, just because the BBTN crew believes the "Cubs don't have the prospects", and don't just simple assume CC is heading straight to Milwaukee either. The Cubs GM can work out some complicated trades (ie the Nomar trade). With that said, the Cubs are said to be focusing on other high caliber arm that is said to be available, and not CC. I fully believe the Cubs will land Rich Harden from the Oakland.

This is a misconception BIG TIME. The Cubs have drafted very well this decade. Guys like Willis, Nolasco, Prior, Sisco, Theriot, Brendan Harris, Luke Hagerty, Justin Jones, Bobby Brownlie, Luis Montanez, Ryan Harvey, etc, etc, have at one point been highly thought off, by not only the Cubs, but other teams. The problems lies within the development department. Whether is has been failure by injuries (Brownlie, Hagerty, etc), attitude problems (Sisco), the Cubs system takes a hit by circumstance. It doesn't help, that the Cubs draft strategy involves trying to turn athletes in baseball players, and TOO RAW players. Just bad luck as to why some of the kids don't pan out. Which is why the Cubs have had better luck through trades and Latin America signings. But to say the Cubs are worst team at drafting this decade is wrong. I believe that honor goes to either the New York Yankees, or the St. Louis Cards. The Cubs draft the talent, they can't developed the talent.

Why you in a hurry to add to the Cubs win totals at Wrigley? This isn't April, the Cubs got their groove, swerve, attitude, whatever you want to call it on, at Wrigley Field. Chances are the next time to visit Wrigley, it won't be so..........generious to the Brewers.
