[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1416182, member: 588522"] If the Cubs don't go into the luxury tax this offseason, its because they've either a) traded some of their more expensive contracts, or b) are not trully committed to this current teams success. No other way around it, they have money to spend, about as solid a young core as you can get, and a pitching staff that isn't getting younger. I prefer Machado to Harper, think he's a better fit for this team (I'm all in on Bryant being a corner outfielder). Wouldn't be surprised to see Machado be an everyday leadoff man. If not, then they really, really need to find an answer to that. I would be fine with Harper too ;) I'm going to continue to complain about Maddons jumbling of the order until it proves we can get consistent offensive results. I wont blame the entirety of the offensive woes on it, especially these last couple games, but consistency is key in baseball. [/QUOTE]
