[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1445100, member: 26283"] So back on October 30th, I said this... I then went on to say that I didn’t think that was Theo’s or the organization’s style and said that I thought there’d be a big time roster shake up including the possible addition of one of the two big free agents. Starting to look like I was right in the first case and wrong in the second. We’re about 4 weeks from Spring Training and there’s not even a whiff of a rumor that the Cubs are going to make a move. They’ll add a dirt cheap depth reliever and a AAAA backup catcher and that’s going to be it. And from the optimist’s point of view, I can come up with some some valid reasoning to this approach. Add a half season of healthy Bryant and a full season of healthy Darvish to last year’s 95-win team and it should be really good. But honestly I can’t think of a team in the dead middle of its competitive window standing completely pat like this and having it work out. [/QUOTE]
