Hey Waldo. I agree with you but the Cubs really aren't in a position to do that.
1. They are only 4.0 games out of 1st and it's not even June, so that would send the message that they aren't serious about winning.
2. The roster/payroll. The players we want to replace or should be replaced with youngsters (GraBLOW, The Aviator (Howry), Ramirez, Zambrano, etc...) They are all older players with big contracts (minus Homerun Howry) that would be hard for Ricketts to just dump.
Just out of curiosity, who do you want to bring up? - I'm just wondering because I'm working on a piece for our homepage on some of our minor league prospects.
