'The Cubs are not in a full rebuilding process" This morning on M&H!

Wonder what Stone considers a full rebuilding?

Did Stoney pick the Cubs for the playoffs, which seems to be an annual tradition with him.

He basically laughed off the Nationals as a bad team. I expect them to be in 2nd, behind the phils and if some things break well they could be the surprise of the NL.

Harper coming up at 19, you can't expect a ton, but Morse and Harper have awesome potential.

Look at the Cubs Lineup. Where are the youngsters? "Rebuild" to me means going young.
Barney & Castro is about it. Some youngsters in the BP...Where else?

Thats a common misconception.

You cant just bring up a bunch of kids who arent ready because you wanna "go young"

Thats not how you devolop good players. Thats the KC Royals existance the last 12 years.

Jackson, Rizzo and even Vitters. The Vets Lahare, Stewart, Byrd, DeJesus are place holders now. None are signed for big money or long term.

James when you REBUILD something, Step 1 is breaking it down.
