He doesn't have any inside information or anything like that, I think it was just a prediction.

dunn would be the worst move for the cubs, they wont win this year, next year may even be tough, so if you are on a 3 year deal with dunn, you are looking at the 3rd year of his deal to really contend. waste of money for the cubs.

I love how everyone says the Cubs won't contend next year. Where is that magic 8 ball of yours?

if the cubs get dunn and castro improves from this past year the cubs most likely will compete.

The Cubs could compete with AA players..
No one really knows one way or the other.

i think they can do it.
i think the main key is going to be big Z, can he keep pitching the way he was pitching late in the season.

We probably need one more solid SP and big bat somewhere in the lineup. Pitching really hasn't been the problem for a number of years, we had the most quality starts last year in the NL. The Cubs aren't that far off from competing again.

I am a very pessimistic Cub fan, but they can absolutely compete next year.
You replace Lee (1.2) with Dunn (3.9), and replace Aramis (0.9) with his usual numbers (4.5), and replace Theriot (-0.3) with Anything (1.0), and you are an 83 win team right there.
Not winning the division yet, but pretty close, don't bring up all scrubs and make a few trades and the Cubs are competing.
You act like the Cubs are the Kansas City Royals or something.
Not only that but does anyone realize how bad our 3 hitter was last year? It was our worst spot other than lead off and 9. It was a .331/.390 last year which means our lineup should have averaged 4.143 runs a game (it really averaged 4.228), but if you put Dunn in at the 3 spot (.381/.521) it brings our lineup up to 4.373 or a 37 run improvement. Which in and of itself is nearly 4 wins.

Aramis needs to have a bounce back year, Z needs to pitch like he did late, we need to sign a big bat somewhere, and Castro needs to keep improving
If those all happen, the Cubs will compete

I think if the young players shine and the vets play like they could the Cubs will contend. I think the Cubs will contend matter what, but it depends what JH does this offseason.

Really?
Really?
If you disagree i have a brilliant idea. debate your point with your opinions of the topic, or if you dont have the time and are frustrated with another users post, use the facepalm smiley, it is there for a reason. no need for this at all.
