Yea. Imagine Cashman and Epstein switch places. That would be pretty crazy. I think the Cubs need a lot more then a GM, and it will take a few good pieces for them to get anywhere close. If they could sign a Pujols or Fielder. They might have a possibility. They have no pitching and from news I have read it is basically a free for all there. They need a new coach who disciplines. They got a long road past a GM.
As for this upcoming series. I can't imagine the cards winning this series unless they hit like crazy. The Rangers will be the first team in a while who wins a series on hitting along. They have a few OK pitches but no dominant ACE. I think there was a stat that said all of the games they won in either this series or the last, all of the W's was given to a pitcher in the bullpen. Not one starting pitcher had a W. The Cards have 75% of a good pitcher in Carpenter. He was lights out in the game against the Philles that took them to the NLDS. But he is no longer of the Elite caliber of pitchers like a Hallady or Lincicum. They can put up runs, but not like the Rangers.
It should be a fun series to watch.
