It's a firesale alright, problem is in this case, they never won anything beforehand.
I agree with the Soriano trade and I like what they got for Garza, I just don't see how they are going to pin all their hopes on Rizzo plus farm system.

The big difference is that the Cubs weren't the big spenders this past offseason, like the Marlins were a year ago.

Couldn't they fill in with vets once some prospects start to come up?

Ya I don't think they are going to rely only on their prospects. I think with Samardzija, the Cubs know he is going to command #1 pitcher money on the open market, and I'm not really sure he will ever be an ace. The Cubs will have the money, but honestly in a big game playoff situation, I really wouldn't feel to confident with him on the mound. At the same time, they are only going to move him if someone over pays. With 2 years of team control left, he is very valuable to the team. In the end, the Cubs only need a couple of their top prospects to pan out. With the stadium renovation and new TV deal in the coming years, the Cubs will have the financial resources to acquire several high end players, either in free agency or in the international market.

Samardzija is better than his numbers look IMO...more than a K/IP and if he played for a better team he would probably have at least 5-8 more Wins than he does right now. He's a weak Ace or a good #2 . Should provide a good return if they move him...hopefully they won't just move him to move him.

The cubs are LISTENING, does that mean there is even a 25% chance he is traded?
If he was to go, it would take a HAUL to get him, without question. Is someone going to give up 3 top 100 prospects for him?

I feel like the Cubs are just stockpiling talent in the minors right now, and hoping that one or two of them turns into a solid everyday player for the team. If a bunch of the players get hot they can trade a few of them. Pair that with a few free agent signings and they'll be near the top of the NL in 2015.

Does that mean 3rd place instead of 4th?

Cubs just got two pitchers from the Rangers -- Edwards and Grimm both in "A" at this time . Edwards was one of The Crawdads best , hated seeing him go to the Cubs

I don't think they'll trade him but why not listen to offers. If one comes along that blown them away then why not take it. I mean like was said before he's good just not an ace. I love what the FO has done so far and hope they continue rebuilding this team. Things ought to be real fun to watch again starting maybe as early as next year but for sure by 2015
Because they are stacking the farm system. .
