If the Cubs come close this year and next but win it all in 2017,does that mean "The Plan" worked too?

C'mon,losing on purpose should be reserved for the WWE.

It means it worked better than any other plan you've seen the Cubs use.

Don't overthink it.

Yeah, when the Cubs win the World Series, all the losing it took to get there will be long forgotten except by the most desperate of trolls. It is pure joy for me to watch the Plan ripen as I have been an ardent supporter of the full rebuild. The arrow is pointing up, and my underwear arrow is straight watching it. Shake That!

Fair point. If Castro, Rizzo ,and Arrieta stay as is, then the Cubs are in great shape. Anything from Wood and Hammel is like a bonus, and I just don't see it lasting. But a strong Lester would make up for regression from the other second tier starters.
