IMO, we're not competing with those guys either. My vote would be for a full blow up of this team. I think you have stated yours is similar. However, I don't think a Cubs team will ever do such a thing based on our market size. So the next best thing would be a partial blow up and replace the overpaid players (Z, Soriano, Milton) with other players that are paid to their ability. I would replace Soriano with Fox. I would replace Milton with either Holliday or Abreu or Jason Bay or Carl Crawford depending on the budget of the new owner. I would replace Z with Lackey or Randy Wolf.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You can replace Bradley with Holliday or Abreau and Z with Lackey or Wolf but you better be prepared to eat a bunch of salary as you are selling low for each of those players and buying high.
I hope Ricketts have a pot of gold or two for this offseason but I just don't see them having that capability.
