Everyone understands talent wins.
You just blather on with nonsense.
Really? So you agree that if the players want to win but the talent is not there then wanting changes nothing right?
But if the talent is there then it translates to more wins.
So the want point is nil
What the main factor for winning is Jed held his hand in selling off his big 2 pieces.
Last year he sold off his big talent. It ended up in losses regardless of the frank the tank scrub fest.
So want means nothing. Talent means everything.
So you can take the whe players want to win and shove it. They are winning because Happ and Contreras are there.
End of story.
Regardless, if Jed is serious about this is 2014 all over again he needs an ace. Lester made that team legit. Jake breaking out was never planned but Lester was.
Out of whom they have Steele seems like a legit MLB starting pitcher. I feel that the Cubs can go to war with him out there. They do need a ace though. Hendricks is not an ace. Even at his peak he never lead the staff. So to expect that is folly. They need to get serious on a proven.
So yes I am yet again going to say Rodon should be a target. I really don't care about the nay say bull shit. The dude wins games. You can not be taken seriously as a contending team with a bull shit rotation headed by a lollypop tossing has been.
