Have faith. Don't act like the system can't be replenished.

That's all a fan should need right there.

I was more worried that the same talent that won those rings last year seemed to be content with mediocrity this year. We'll see.

Basically almost all of your starting position players on any given day are from the farm system outside of Rizzo and Hayward.

RPB do you want to go back to the old Jim Hendry days when we waited until the prospect was 24 or 25 then bring them up? Those were haunted days.

With the young talent on the field daily for the Cubs it's good to have somewhat of a talent gap from the MLB roster down to double or single A.

Now if we could just get a lights out pitching prospect to flourish at this level.

:lol: If you really believe Cub fans are jealous of the Sox and their prospects right now you are more delusional than I thought.

None of us would trade spots with the Sox right now.

Just calling it like I see it, RFDC. The proof is right here on the board from some Cubs fans over the last week or so.

You need your eyes checked. I'm not jealous that the Sox farm system is great right now. I'm pissed we weakened ours for a losing pitcher.
