Its not measurable. I can't quantify it. But the Cubs players that came up through the minors all seem to have one common attribute. They have a tough mental attitude towards the game. Listen to Schwarber, Bryant, Russell, etc. talk and you hear it in what they say and how they say it. There was also a consistent approach to philosophy. As a Sox fan, do you feel that they are also addressing this aspect of the game with their minor league acquisitions and drafts? I think Anderson proves they can develop positional players and they have been able to consistently improve pitchers though Cooper.

I'd hazard a guess it was they were top 10 draft picks, not WINT.

Frank, you are bad at these jokes when you try and "go it" alone. Get in Favre Fan's trunk in the other thread...

It was a totally honest question. I don't know if the mental edge helped Cubs players develop. I assume having a consistent approach to the fundamentals in the minors went a long way. I'm just curious if as a White Sox fan, do you believe that the organization is addressing that part of this rebuild.

Fuck this soft ass trolling. Get out. You and Sideshow Bob.

Cubs fans went from insufferable losing burritos to off brand Red Sox fans in less than an hour. All of you should suffocate yourselves.

I feel that you were developed as a sniveling little bitch by a multi tiered system that preached the fundamentals of bitchiness from infancy to (what can loosely be described in your case as) adulthood.

You should do your best to try to walk in front of a moving car.
