David Kaplan The compensation could include top prospects but again not top major leaguers.

i would think Jackson be biggest piece

Sorry but i would give up a SPEC for Theo..Again Jackson is just that..a prospect

I'm in agreement with this. Hate to see BJax go, but at some point Theo, if he's that smart, he should be able to replace the player easily.

How can you say a PROSPECT who hasnt prove shit worth more then a GM who brought 2 WS to a city like Chicago that didnt win for over 90 years. Theo could replace Jackson in just 1 draft

Because Jackson's our top prospect, Epstein is just a GM and we can get someone else without giving up a top spec, and because my name is Jackson.

And Jackson's trade value is more useful than for getting a GM even if he does bust...

6-10 I can part with, I like Golden though. 1-5 should be untouchable.

Carpenter had over 5 ERA in minors, Vitters cant take a walk to save his life, McNutt had over 4 ERA....Jackson i do like, Scuzur i like but 2 CF can trade one for a GM who has won 2 WS and only 37

So if Hendry won 2 WS, you'd trade Brett Jackson for him?


Szczur I see as Sori's replacement in LF eventually, don't trade him until his stock is higher anyway even if we do get a different LF down the road.

I think you overvalue an overhyped GM.

So a guy who has 2 WS rings in the last 10 years...How many do Cubs have in last 103 year? Thats right 0!!!!!!! Theo knows what its like to work in Big market, he uses organization to bring players up/ trade for all stars, and he has 2 WORLD SERIES RINGS!!! We all wish a Cubs GM could say that

I don't like the idea of trading for a GM, but if that's what Ricketts wants, go ahead, I won't be mad at cha Tom.

If Hendry would have won 2 WS with Cubs he would have been GM for LIFE!!!!!

Wrong, we do have a World Series win in the last 103 years, it isn't past October 14th yet.
