  • Cubs 2013 Preview: a Bit Better Pitching, but Rebuilding Still Grinds Along Slowly
    Cubs 2013 preview: A bit better pitching, but rebuilding still grinds along slowly By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, March 29, 2013 Theo Epstein is getting double for his money these days. First, the former lifelong Bostonian is getting a valuable education in Chicago politics as the three- cornered debate over Wrigley Field renovations shows how Clout City USA really works. And yet all the arguments over whether the Cubs should get seri- ous with Rosemont and consider moving if they don’t get a renova- Cubs GM Jed Hoyer (with wife Merrill) and boss Theo Ep- tions deal very soon give Epstein stein have once again constructed a roster that can be and his baseball operations depart- disassembled via mid-season trades. ment a big break. Off-the-field issues involving Wrigley Field, whether the installation of lights, falling concrete or Arne Harris’ hat shots, are always far more than sideshows. They become the main story, relegating the Cubs’ on-field fortunes to notebook status. The taffy pull involving Tom Ricketts, Rahm Emanuel, Tom Tunney, the rooftop owners and the vil- lage of Rosemont absolutely shifted the Cubs’ spring-training countdown to Opening Day to secondary news-angle status. If all focus was on the team itself, the conclusion would be a sub-standard roster with a slew of place-holders that is being intentionally fielded for the second-year in a row. Worse yet, as Epstein vows a rebuilding-from-the-ground-up strategy, there are no pitching phenoms or fresh-faced hot rookies as attention-getters to make the continual losing more palatable.
