Not really.

I mean, no more than the average mlb team. We did this with the Cubs and Sox recently and they've had similar success.



Sox fans getting very upset!

Calmer than you are, Dude...



"THE INQUISITOR" is always the one who seems to get upset.

He's a really knowledgeable poster when it comes to Cubs prospects. For some reason Keyzer becomes a dipshit when it comes to Cubs prospects.

The truth hurts.

Keyser doesnt like this thread because of all the original thoughts.

Keyser doesnt like this thread because of all the dumb original thoughts.

Actually, it seems he just pops in from time to time to make certain posters look absolutely stupid then he disappears.

He is more knowledgeable about baseball than anyone who has posted on this page, Ill say that.

That being the case, shouldn't he pop in to acknowledge that Theo's "plan" has obviously gone off the tracks this season what with giant steps back for line-up centerpieces Rizzo and Castro? Or does THE INQUISITOR believe the Cubs will contend in 2015 with guys who are now in A ball?

As usual you're assigning beliefs to him that you deem "What Cub fans thinks"

I think he's pretty realistic.


I disagree on your assessment of Rizzo and on those two guys being as important as you say.


But that's just me. Time will tell and it will be interesting


The Cubs can compete next year JORR and you off all people know that

I really dont understand why sox fans seem so concerned with Theo and how he's judged.

Why is that so important?

Why not just watch the games? Who cares what the media and some uneducated fans think?

I think some might, others might not. But I highly doubt enough of them are going to do it and play at a high enough level to contend. So if they really are going to contend in 2015, it isn't going to be with those draft picks.

Now, I don't think this season is a great example of what Castro or Rizzo are capable of. But it isn't really fair to have it both ways. If they were having giant years, they'd be examples of Theo's genius. So don't tell me that when they're having shitty years they're still examples of his genius, because you know, he's Theo, he's got a plan, hey, man, you don't talk to the Theo. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas...

They can compete next year. Just not with "the plan" that has been laid out thus far by Theo Epstein. Sure, they can go to a Hendry plan and compete in '14. That isn't what the Cubs have been selling. And I'm not assigning beliefs to anyone. But you've got to be kidding if you're saying that Anthony Rizzo, a guy Hoyer and Epstein have been obsessed enough to bring with them across the country, isn't supposed to be a key piece. And he may be a key piece yet. I'm just saying that you couldn't possibly be happy with the way Castro and Rizzo have developed this season. And the other guys are still further away than next year.

Of course it's my thought. I wrote it, didn't I? What is your thought? Very pleased with the development of the key pieces Epstein signed to long-term deals?

Id say they compete with a nice hybrid of Hendry and Theo's style.



It seems like you were kinda suggesting that Inquisitor is all positive.




No, I dont think Rizzo is a giant piece and I dont think trading for him twice means they're obsessed. They traded a pitcher with an arm injury for him, not exactly a king's ranson.

And its pretty common for GMs to try and bring over some of their guys

They think he's good and he probably will be pretty good. But he is not a centerpiece or anything.


Ive always thought he'd be the guy who was first in the rebuild and went thru a lot of bad years but was around when they got better.

Kind of like Nick Markakis

I never said anything about his knowledge.

He pops in from time to time when somebody bashes the Cubs and turns it around on how 'bad' the White Sox are.

I think his beef is more with Keyser specifically, but I dont care enough to research it

He's jumped in on other people too. Sometimes without know the whole story. He jumped all over me for saying "losing pitcher" Travis Wood earlier this year in the All Star thread.

That may be right. Are there any guys they currently have that you believe will be the key guys on a future champion?

Plenty.

Just not for the Cubs

Breeding champions down on the farm. Daytona's pitching was lights out in the playoffs. Starters didn't give up a run the entire time.

How did the double A team do?
