As you might have heard, the Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1908 or
appeared in one since 1945. Their win total just declined for the third year
in the row, and they finished 2011 with the second-worst record and
fourth-oldest roster in the National League. Their farm system can't offer
many immediate solutions.
Yet optimism runs rampant among Chicago fans, thanks to a front-office
makeover that began with the firing of Jim Hendry in mid-August. Hendry was
the most accomplished general manager in the franchise's modern history,
building five winning teams and three playoff clubs in nine full seasons. But
his increasing focus on the short term eventually left the Cubs with an aging
roster, a bloated payroll and no obvious way to escape.
Owner Tom Ricketts actually dismissed him four weeks before the move was
announced, but Hendry stayed on to conclude negotiations with the most
expensive draft class in franchise history. Chicago handed out seven-figure
bonuses to shortstop Javier Baez (first round), first baseman Dan Vogelbach
(second), outfielder Shawon Dunston Jr. (11th) and righthander Dillon Maples
(14th) while spending a total of $12 million. By comparison, it paid $8.7
million in bonuses in the previous two drafts combined.
The Cubs also have been aggressive seeking talent in Latin America and Asia,
and Ricketts' commitment to player development attracted interest throughout
the industry. Theo Epstein mentioned it as a major factor in why he decided
to leave the Red Sox, where he won two World Series in nine years as GM, to
become Chicago's president of baseball operations in October. He received a
five-year, $18.5 million contract.
"As the Cubs' draft went on, we were sitting around in our draft room and we
could tell what they were doing,'' Epstein said at his introductory press
conference. "We said, 'Hey, they get it, they're finally getting it.' . . .
That got my attention, the attention of a lot of other people in the game.''
Padres GM Jed Hoyer and vice president of scouting and player development
Jason McLeod also took notice. Hoyer and McLeod, who helped build those
championship teams in Boston before revitalizing the farm system in two years
in San Diego, assumed the same roles in Chicago a week after Epstein came
aboard. The Cubs continued to bolster what had been one of baseball's
smallest front offices by hiring well-regarded Diamondbacks pro scout Joe
Bohringer as director of pro scouting.
The team also retained most members of the previous administration, with the
notable exception of respected longtime scout Gary Hughes, a special
assistant who resigned out of loyalty to Hendry. Vice president of player
personnel Oneri Fleita, who has overseen the farm system and international
scouting, received a four-year contract extension prior to Epstein's arrival.
Tim Wilken, who had been director of amateur and pro scouting, now will focus
on the draft.
Epstein and Co. have their work cut out for them. The big league club has
more bad contracts than young cornerstones and will need at least a year to
rebuild, even with the Cubs' vast resources. Outfielder Brett Jackson is
ready to play in the majors, but the system's other blue-chip prospects, Baez
and outfielder Matt Szczur, are at least a couple of years away.
