Without the 2014 growing pain type season, that Cubs run of 2016 doesn't happen. At some point switching to youth is something everyone must do....the trick is a GM has to read his youth...and hit the gas pedal at the right time when he sees enough of those pieces illustrating a window is opening. One of the toughest things to do is that timing...hit the gas too soon and you drown your prospects, overcharge the future signing youthful mistakes....and likely overpaying a veteran or two in the process thinking they were the last piece to the puzzle of a push.Wait too late...and you tie up too much in the signed youth or you lose some of them to other teams and they show out....While everyone is of course worried and likely to fix their eyes too much on just what Love is going to be in future...Gute and everyone else in management for sure with this much youth is mapping out a multitude of different roads to 2024 or 2025 or 2026 depending on all the answers or further questions this season may produce.</blockquote>
