the Cubs should be ready to be competitive by 2016


I think that's being optimistic. I agree that 2016 could be when they become competitive if most of their prospects turn out to be good players, and they get this revenue stream stuff sorted out in a timely manner to allow them to sign the free agents they need to fill holes. But, I'm not terribly optimistic that everything will happen like that.

I do agree that Wood will stick around unless someone really wants to overpay for him in a trade.

It's optimistic, but I also think it's very reasonable. I mean they are 8-16 right now, but they have Villanueva losing every 5th game and they don't have a closer. They have already blown 3 leads in the ninth inning or later this season and blew another one in like the 7th or 8th against the Pirates I believe. Take Villanueva out of the rotation and make Rondon the closer and this team is closer to .500. Probably somewhere around 11-13 or so.
