Wow.
WTF are you wanting that they aren't doing?
Instant gratification? The usual "go for it now, one year window" type of team?
In one year, we will have an IF consisting of 4 of these 6: Bryant, Baez, Castro, Russell, Alcantara and Rizzo.
One of these may be in the OF. Two may be in the OF. One may be traded.
We will still have a deep farm system, and will be positioned for LONG TERM success.
Cub fans' logic is nonexistent. Because it was 103 years when Theo got here, he should not have used a smart, patient approach to building LONG TERM. He should have tried to win NOW with the Prince Fielders of the world - aging, expensive FA's. And when that doesn't work, there is no Plan B, because they weren't acquiring top prospects.
But when Theo gets top draft picks, drafts well, and uses international signings to stock the next wave with guys like Eloy Jiminez - who will be coming up when other prospects are reaching arbitration time - impatient fans say "It's been 106 years now! He isn't doing anything".
I have not heard one single analyst/expert outside the organization criticize the Cubs' approach. Every one of them has praised what Theo and Jed are doing. Every one of them says the Cubs are going to be good and for a long time.
The fact that it had been 103 years when Theo took over doesn't mean he should have done it the wrong way. That's what Cub GM's have been doing since Dallas Green left. Green was the last guy we had who really "got it", and naturally he was criticized too.
