Rosenbloom's take on Ricketts

RosenBlog: Can the Cubs play their game better than the owner plays his?

Interesting read to say the least.

-Ricketts wrote a letter to season ticket holders that explained in part that money previously spent on payroll would now be used for scouting and development, and then his general manager traded three prospects for a pitcher who might cost $15 million the next two years.

This is my favorite part.

This is my favorite part.

Hendry and Ricketts have 2 different views how the Cubs should be runned. Ricketts wants young kids to come up cause they dont cost shit while Hendry knows prospects dont pan out most of the time so go get the 27 y/o proven MLB starter.

I find it hard to give Hendry a lot of credit...

I understand that, but still how are you going to say one thing and then do another.

I can't imagine that deal went down without Ricketts knowing about it and okaying it.

I really am not a big fan of Ricketts.
