[Stardust]

^ in somewhat I do agree. Look at Soriano, Zambrano, Dempster. They all were good players but they have gone down hill. Soriano hasn't done much since he's been at Chicago, Zambrano has bad anger management problems and Dempster just plain sucks and that's coming from a Cubs fan

It's why I think the Cubs have failed in developing superstars in their minor leagues and then keeping them. I've hated how they get rid of so many A and AA players over the last 15 years. They have tried so hard to be a Red Sox, Yankees or Dodgers in trying to buy a World Series contender instead of putting their focus into building one.
