Except he doesn't develop those kinds of kids. He develops kids that have baseball talent, which is a very great ability to have.

It's pretty hard to refute range factor bro.

O yea and what about the pitching staff Epstein put together? Not at all World Series caliber. Some of the staff got hurt so what did Epstein do? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Longoria is the only postional all-star they have.

OK if he develops pitching, it doesn't matter considering Wrigley is a hitters park?

Right, because baseball *isn't* a game of luck at all. 5 game sample sizes really show that his uber young team failed. Right.

What was he supposed to do?

**Chris J** · 10-03-2011, 09:53 PM

And yea he develops guys like Longoria, Price, Zobrist, and now Matt Moore. But he can't keep anyone around like Crawford because he can't offer good players money.

So that means that the Cubs don't need pitchers? Funny, could have swore that all teams needed pitchers.
