The 2012 Chicago Cubs All-Out Assault On Third Place Thread

[Quality Start Machine]

Let's fire it up.

[Yeti]

NEED THE OFFSEASON THREAD FIRST, DOUCHE

[Brownie]

I have an easy, 10-step plan.

1. Sign Albert Pujols
2. Sign Prince Fielder
3. Sign CC Sabathia
4. Sign Jose Reyes
5. Sign C.J. Wilson
6. Re-sign Aramis Ramirez
7. SIgn Michael Cuddyer
8. Sign Jonathan Papelbon
9. Sign Mark Buehrle
10. Sign Ryan Madson

Then here's your roster
C: Soto
1b: Fielder
2b: Castro
ss: Reyes
3b: Ramirez
lf: Pujols
cf: Campana/Byrd
rf: Cuddyer

Supersub: Soriano
Rest of the becnh: Wellington Castillo, Blake Dewitt and Tyler Colvin

Pitchers:
Sabbathia
Wilson
Garza
Buerhle
Cashner/Coleman/Wells can compete for the fifth spot

Bullpen:
Marmol
Wood
Marshall
Papelbon
Madson
Samardzija
Coleman
Wells

OK, the outfield will suck defensively somewhat. And the Ricketts might go bankrupt. Other than that, I think it just might work!

[Brownie]

Fuck it. Let me amend the plan:

2008 Brewers - been there.

2008 Brewers - been there.

They were more successful in the post season than the 2008 Cubs.
