If the Cubs had a bunch of prospects and young players ready at the same time would we accept a year or two of development?

I want to say we would accept a young team because we'd rather see a winner long term even if it meant a couple of years of development and losing some games to develop players.

And for those that say we wouldn't would it change if we won the world series first?

For example let's say they win it all this year.

In a couple of years our guys are all old and we have some kids ready to go.

We will find out after next year! 2010 will be it!

Rickets family will invest in the park and not the team for a few years.

2010 Lee, Ramirez, Demp, Lilly all come up. They will try and trade Z and Soriano and alleviate some huge debt and revnovate.

Not one "Young player" in the system still exists when she said that. OK, Vitters, but he will be here until he is 32.
