Right, but both LAA and DET actually have a farm system to fall back on. You're still being a bit short-sighted, and you still haven't explained how you would build the team to win now given the resources available this past offseason.

I don't think you have. The burden is on you to prove it, not on me to find it.

My favorite teams
Daddies is getting dumber and dumber every post.
Main argument: People over 20 want to win now. So fucking what? What older fans want is how a team should be run? Ricketts is already spending over his head and the team's in debt, but that isn't enough for you?
Having 3 kids and soon 4 makes you more intelligent than somebody else? :lmao:
Fucking
And that article had absolutely no evidence that it would be a wise baseball decision to spend out of our asses on players when the team simply isn't ready to turn that corner yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong D3A, but you wanted to sign Fielder, and Edwin Jackson correct?
I don't those would have been "bad" moves, but it wouldn't have much purpose on a rebuilding team.

Fucking you get for the fucking you got buddy.
I'm not impressed.
You're fertile. Congrats.
That doesn't make you smart.
That article was idiotic.
Cubs fans would rather win now. No shit. Of course if you asked any fan if you'd rather wina WS in 2012 or wait 3 years they'd take the one now. But that's not the issue here. The Cubs, even with the money they have, didn't have the resources to put goether a WS contender this season. On top of that as WFH mentioned why should Rickett's run his team like some morons want him to. If anything Cubs fans should be happy Rickett's is doing what he is doing because rather than trying to be a one pump chump and "go all in" he's trying to build an organization that will allow the Cubs to win multiplie WS titles over the course of the next decade etc etc.
Again, you don't even know what the discussion is.
I'm 27 years old. But then again I'm an intelligent person who understands patience and how things need to be done in pro sports to build consistant winning organizations.
You seem to have ADHD and have no clue how true class organziations are built.
Everyone here is talking about the theory of relativity and you're the Special person pissing his pants in the corner screaming "Rocket ship" at the top of his lungs. Either make a real effort to join the conversation with the rest of us or STFU
You have offered no "facts" whatsoever. Just pants pissing and yelling about nothing.
..........So much ironic and funny about this shit hole of a "sentence".
Good call.Daddies is getting dumber and dumber every post.

Fielder would have made sense cause would have given team a franchise player at age 28. He would still be in prime in 2-3 years which all of you think Cubs will be contending again. Edwin Jackson only 28 so signing him to 3-4 yr deal would have given you a legit number 3 SP. Again while team is rebuilding the farm Jacksona and Fielder could have helped make this team competitive NOW. I dont think you guys grasp that rebuilding the farm is going to take 4-6 years. THeo has draft his guys. Then they have to play in minors for years. So before we see any of Theo guys make a difference it will be 4-6 years. SO why not spend money on MLB team over the next 1-5 years. Only long contract i would have given out is Fielder. All the other contracts would have been 1-4 years. SO when they were up the players that Theo drafted would be ready. Do you understand a timeline? Thats what i have been saying post after post.

LOL at simply signing Prince Fielder and Edwin fucking Jackson making this team competitive.
:rolling:
Uhh. No.
We all understand that. We all think it's smart. Again. Quit being a Special person.

Your a complete jackass. If he so over his head on spending he wouldnt be buying McDonalds for 20 mil, buying property to build academy, paying for ST site. NO he rather spend on property that will make HIM MORE MONEY in the long run. He a business man. So the MLB Cubs are taking the hit. Learn simple economics you fucking tool. Get over your big ass head and little dick and start actually reading the post.

You're an idiot....yet again.
By Rickett's expanding the finanical base of the Cubs and bringing in more $$$ he is able to spend more money on free agents and put more money in the bank to hand out in contracts.
Holy shit how can you not see the connection here?
Take your own advice.

Fielder and Jackson help team stay compeitive. Cubs dont have a middle of order bat. Jackson would slide right into 3rd pitching spot and once Dempster leaves would slide right into 2nd spot (if they dont go out and spend on a ACE), They would have been in the 2nd WC spot hunt with just those 2 players. Makes the team deeper and better. Plus Fielder would give Cub fans actuall reason to show up the ball park. As you can see from article i posted Cubs not selling tickets. Some of you think its smart. Some of us think its not smart cause the fans are proving that by not buying tickets to see piss poor team on the field

Reason Cub fans are known to be the stupidest fans in baseball is very easy to see in this forum. You guys just suck Ricketts dick and think everything he saids is going to happen. I view my opinions on actuall reality. I look what he has done in 3 yrs as an owner. You guys just eat up every little speech that Ricketts and Theo put out there. When an owner spends more money on a McDonalds parking lot 20 mil, then into the MLB team over an offseason, that tells you what kind of owner he is. He looking to do 1 thing and 1 thing only!!! MAKE MONEY FOR HIMSELF!! He dont care if Cubs dont win. He just keep jacking up the prices on the tickets and putting a so called young team on the field to keep you uneducated tools happy. While fans that actually want to see a winner have to suffer and listen to you tools.

What do you mean "stay competitive" The Cubs weren't competitive last season so brining in Fielder and Jackson
rolling would not have somehow vaulted them into contention with real organizations like the Brewers and Cardinals.:rolling:
No they would not have.
And you have no proof he wouldn't.
Then again "take a simple economics course" If Ricketts is going to spend half a billion dollars to renovate Wrigley he's not going to piss away that investment plus his $900 million dollar purchase of the team by putting a shit product on the field when on top of all thi he brought in THEO FUCKING EPSTEIN and Co.
So it's your "logic" that Rickett's is willing to spend 1.4 billion on the Cubs, spend the money to get Theo and Co here...........then......not go after free agents or reinvest into the ball club? :rolling:
BTW, Rickett's is already going out there trying to spen big $$ on free agents...that's why he's offering some 19 year old Cuban $27 million.
LOL at you failing over and over.
Wrong.
Again.
So Rickett's brought in Theo Epstein to not spend money on free agents? Why would he hire Theo and not some schlub from the Royals? Have you ever watched how the Red Sox operate?
No. It's idiotic because his and your premise is stupid and flawed.
