Successful in odd years, yes, but they've been boom or bust for most of the last 10-15 years. That gives me some hope, but the more I look at the Cubs organization as a whole, I'm struggling to see how this WON'T be a long rebuild. Contending in 2022 looks extremely unlikely, and if our minor leagues suffer through another forgettable developmental year like this past season, it's difficult to imagine what that path forward will look like short of going nuts in the free agent market (not happening).
