Compete? Probably 2014 depending on what we do with Garza, if not 2015 somewhere in there. Same as what I thought when the front office was brought in. 3-5 years.

Going to be 2017++++ No way all the top prospects pan out. They prolly have 1 guy pan out. Have 1 guy come out of system out of nowhere that pans out. Ricketts WONT spend money to help the MLB club. He proven since he been the owner that payroll will be a mid-market while fans pay prices of large market. Once Cubs do start bringing up the kids they wont be difference makers right away. They will have a learning curve in the MLB. Since guys wont be in MLB till 2015 no way they win till 2017+++++
The real question should be when Cubs are still sucking in 2015 does Theo get contract extension after 5 yrs of losing in Chicago??

No, he won't get a contract back in 2015. He was signed through 2016. Signed in late 2011... so signed for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. So, I doubt he gets it in 2015, and regardless, it would not be after 5 years of losing under him yet.

Good god your English has gotten worse! Can't say I'm at all surprised by this post either, carry on with your hypothetical ideas for this offseason, sure the Cubs could sign every top FA for a decent amount and BE BIG MARKET TEAM!!!!

i know its a pipe dream. Thats why I said it. I know its a long shot but it doesnt mean they dont think it. 1. Castro and Rizzo are here to stay no matter what people think. Baez and Bryant are pipe dreams but they still are top 50 if nothing else. Also, Baez will be a top 10 prospect. Thats trade value if nothing else. Also, I ended my night with flaming dp's again but Im still sober enough to know that White sox fans are upset because they have no farm and no money as a franchise. That has to hurt. Salami I suggest you getting a little flaming dp's in your life. I dont know if your married but it brings the freaks out and Im not talking the uglys!!! Cubbies!!!

If Ricketts wants to put a lot more fans in the seats and he wants his team to get a lot better, then he will have to fork out the money to do just that. Not that he needs to buy every free agent nor every expensive one, but the Cubs are going to have to invest in something other than the farm.
The Cubs are a horrible team and their overall play and record proves it.
Not all people are patient enough to wait this storm out, and it is showing year by year at the ticket office.
Soon, the players will also get frustrated also if they aren't already.

That post was literally a big joke towards him, but okay, obviously he's gonna have to pay to win, who doesn't? And I'm fully aware that peoploe are impatient, so am I, doesn't mean I care that much, I barely event watch this team play, no point to.

I am married and I mainly drink Budweiser and red wine.
It's bad enough my wife's cooking allows me to shit through a fine screen from fifty yards away. No need to try from a hundred yards out.

Elegantly said, Salami

However...flaming dp's is something I wont add to the equation....
