The Cubs should be in a far better place than the Cubs are. That's what I'm saying. For what their resources are in the division they play in, they are clowns too.
Cubs are just as disgraceful as the Sox from a team running standpoint. They should be battling with the big boys and they are pulling this type of stuff?
The smart play is to hold onto him and hope he has a great an injury free first half. The problem is the guy has done nothing but let me down, so I don't know if I think it's possible.
I don't even understand them "going for it" (at least that's what people are telling me). I guess winning the division gets Jed to keep his job, but this team is, at best, an NLDS exit.
There is no point in arguing about any of this because you are going to have to wait 2 years to see if Getz is a fraud or if he was being held back by the previous regime. Pace yourselves.
Maybe that's how Getz got Hahn out of his way and got the job with no search at all. Went to JR and told him I can do this for cheaper and here is how.
I will always wonder (and we will know in a couple years) how "in charge" he was of the whole thing and what he was being told to emphasize. Time will tell.
