lol@marmol

What's wrong with marmol?

 

[Rice Cube]

What's wrong with marmol?

Mostly the BB/9 rate.

I think the makeup of the team varies a lot by what you mean an all-time Cubs team. Are you talking about the players with the best career or the best career for the Cubs? Are you talking about players with longevity or the players with the best peak? For example Kyle Farnsworth as a whole for his career would be a terrible pick, but if I get to take Kyle Farnsworth 2001 vintage than I would be more than happy to put it on my team. Or Fred McGriff as a Cub isn't worthy of being on the list, but Fred McGriff's career might be the best of any 1B that played for the Cub. So that is why I have held off in putting together my list.

Still be hardpressed to find 7 better RP's

You can do either or, i went by performance/roles with teams tho in the Hawks and Sox

anyone who puts prior in their best cubs team needs to stop watching baseball and focus more on making more dumb youtube videos of charlie sheen winning.

Again it all depends on what we are talking about. Prior's 2003 season was an incredible pitching performance. Career wise though he shouldn't be on the list when you consider all the great careers of Cubs starters in the first 3 decades of the 20th century.

1 season doesnt=career.

 

[dabynsky]

1 season doesnt=career.

Find the word career in the OP and you would have a point. It says create your own dream team with anyone in a Cubs uniform. I earlier posed the question if we were talking about career or peak. If it is peak, Mark Prior belongs in the conversation. If it is career, he certainly doesn't.
