Levine: Cubs’ Focus Now Turns To Adding Pitching Depth
July 31, 2014 6:08 PM

“We have a lot of depth in the system,” Hoyer said after Thursday’s trade. “I don’t feel we have enough pitching at this point. We are still pretty out of balance, and that is certainly true in the minor league system.”

“We know right now we are not close on pitching,” Hoyer said. “We have to add a lot more depth and a lot more talent. Really, our next 18-24 months will be largely spent doing just that.”

We'll, the good thing is that it's unlikely the A's will sign these acquisitions...at least not all of them. So the Cubs will have a chance to be outbid.

The lack of offense in mlb could create an interesting scenario where the dearth of power makes it more advantageous to have bats then power arms.

A parrot is capable of this thought.

It might be at a point of:

Good offense - average offense > Good pitching - average pitching

It's also possible that the " good pitching" is really bad offense.

And so, as a result, having good offense could mean much more than it has in the past.

Don't bother... brett refuses to entertain the idea that there could be a shift in the talent/focus in baseball.
