No idea.  I just know that our current farm system is strong.

As an organization, this is about as healthy as I can recall the Cubs being.  They have a good ML roster, solid young players on the farm, and a strong player development program.  Why did it take so many decades of my being a fan to get here?

Would you rather have the 2014 Cubs and farm system or the 2024 Cubs and farm system?

Oz Busters place Yu Darvish on the IL. Pick up Ryan Weathers to replace.

Also, option 2.

They seem to own Atlanta.  Not likely to beat Miami though.

It’d help if Jimmy is out.

Just scrolled through the free agent pool, and 28 of the top 30 players available (by points scored so far this season) are pitchers. So almost all of the best available players are pitchers.

I know I said this at some point last year, but I'll say it again...we really need to turn one (or both) of the utility hitter roster spots into utility players that can be filled by either a hitter or pitcher. Our roster rules are still based on how teams were built in the mid-90s when a real life roster with 11 pitchers on a 25 player roster still seemed a little excessive.

A little more roster flexibility would be good for this league IMO.

It a function of the scoring system.  If you look at players as a category each type of player stars, ok, scrubs pitchers are going to outperform hitters.  When you have a deep league with 400 players, pitchers are going to be better.  Adding more pitchers to the roster is just going to make it a more pitchers heavy league.

Only 210 pitches for both teams.

Coby White tonight: 42 points on 21 shots, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 0 turnovers. Not much to like about the dumpster fire of an organization but Coby has firmly established himself as a legit impact player.
