More Trade Thoughts

Yesterday I was just sitting back waiting for my day to end, and listening to 670 The Score radio station out of Chicago, like I always do on my ride home.  Then I heard some very interesting thoughts come through those crappy little three and a half inch speakers in the doors of my car.  "Why doesn't Jim Hendry buy his way into the World Series by picking up all the top players out there, and just eliminate the threat of another team getting a big mid-season pick up and making a run at them"  HUH,,,, I thought, what a crazy idea.  Well the Marlins did it in 1997, but it was the beginning of the year, and they just bought the whole free agent market.  So why couldn't the Cubs just dump all of their farm system to get anybody who could possibly be a difference maker this year.  Then just simply not resign them at the end of the year and there you go instant title with no after effects, right?  No, the Cubs farm system first of all isn't THAT strong to be able to lure in multiple teams, for there stars, but also with this core of players that Hendry has put together, they are not just looking at winning this year, but putting together a couple runs at a championship, think about it.  Every major player on the Cubs except for Edmonds right now is signed for atleast another year if not all the way up to the next four years.  This could be the making of a great team for the next 3-5 years.  So why put the young bodies we have down in the minors, whom some are very legit ballplayers themselves, like a Sam Flud, Felix Pie (maybe), Josh Vitters, and so on,  even in that predictament just to solidify one years chance to possibly still get upset in the playoffs.  I say let's win now, but not at the cost of losing a possible next 5 years of competiting for a title.  So I say let C.C go to Milaukee and Fuentes go to St. Louis, I still think were a better team then they would be with those additions.  Just some food for thought, to all those Cubs fans who think we have to make a move to win, If we get healthy, the only team who could beat the Cubs is the Cubs themselves and I trust Sweet Lou to not let that happen. GO CUBS GO, IT"S GONNA HAPPEN!!!
