Well, considering that "all these pieces" that'll take us on this "rewarding journey" are generally not old enough to buy themselves a beer yet, I'd wager that it'll take a bit more time for them to be ready to have meaningful contributions at the major league level. Not every prospect is Mike Trout, Bryce Harper or Manny Machado. On top of that, you should probably direct your attention to the standings -- the Cubs have an improved record over last season at the All-Star break. It's a small improvement, but an improvement nonetheless.
All of the "worthless signings" that Theo and Hoyer made have contributed to this improvement. So, are we knocking on the door to compete for a World Series yet? No. But have we improved at the Major League level all while sustaining growth in the minors, drafted well, AND made an impact in the international players pool? Yes. I'd say that's a success. Unfortunately, you're too dense to actually look at the standings and draw the conclusion that we have, in fact, improved. I thought all you guys cared about was Ws at the major league level. If that's your barometer of success, then Theo and Jed are doing their jobs -- we're better than we were last year. And you guys said it yourselves -- it's all that matters.

Who are all these people saying that signing Edwin Jackson to a four year deal and trading Matt Garza away for prospects will provide long term sustained success ?

Nobody said that -- you're just living in a fantasy land where you pretend that somebody posted it.

It's constant moving goal posts. The minor league building didn't matter because the Cubs weren't improving at the MLB level with wins. Now the Cubs are improving at the MLB level with wins and the minor league stuff still doesn't matter because the Cubs at somepoint might have been able to sign Shin Soo Choo for a couple seasons or something.

Because we all know that locking down one player for $15 million a season is going to be the page-turner that the franchise needs in order to reach the promised land. Let's look back through history at all the World Series winners and check out how many of them were spearheaded by one and only one player. BRB, time to check Baseball-Reference....

Listen friend, I just pointed out irony. You're the last person on this board that needs to be pointing out spelling/grammar/sentence structure/capitalization/all things literary errors.

So what you're saying is that when someone posts up Rory Sparrow-style, it's hard to follow. Sparrow-style is not founded on accuracy as much as an embellishment of another poster's stated position.

100% as usual.
I started a thread pointing out how Soriano has helped the team to it's best stretch of the season to date.
But it wasn't a player that Theo brought in or a player under 25 years of age so you and your buddies shit all over it.
Yes the major league team has shown a modest improvement in wins at the major league level. Most of that improvement is due to players who likely will be no longer be a part of the franchise in 1 to 2 years like Garza, Soriano, Feldman is already traded away, Scheirholz etc.
So seeing as most of the improvement in record is due to players who will only be here short term, how is that truly building to this mythical long term sustained success that is right around the corner?
