Thanks for the info, I didn't realize they had invested so much into player development. They will clearly have some good players coming up through the system and significant resources available for making big signings. There is no doubt they will contend. That being said, the Ricketts have not yet shown whether they will sign a $200+ million contract that will propel them from division to WS contenders. They are smart not to do it now, but the fans are still flocking to Wrigley Field to see a last place team. How much incentive do they really have to take a big chunk out of their profits--especially when they are spending so much money improving Wrigley Field?
