re: Chicago Cubs Super Prospect Futureboner Sploosh Emporium Thread | Maddon Thread

Everyone listen to Theo's presser yesterday and get the warm fuzzies?

Nothing really new, going to go after impact free agents over the next 15 months (so this off season and next) to add to the core.

He still believes in Baez, a lot (rightfully so)

Our goal is to win the NL central next year. And while he did couch it a bit, it wasn't his typical "well you know, good things can happen, we're building for a sustained run...blah blah blah." Said it was time to add externally but continue to develop the farm.

Also said they're going to try to give all their players positional flexabiltiy so you'll see addison russel working at 2b and 3b. If you want to take that for face, that's fair. I read it (because it's what i'd like to happen) as another indication they won't be trading castro.

So there it is. Lets go get lester, maybe upgrade (somehow in the OF) and do this thing.

Oh yea and the bleachers are coming down, then going back up with nice new jumbo tron, LED board and some new signs. Modernizing the old girl. It's about time.
