Cubs went from 73-89 to 97-65 to 73-41 this year. So how is it crazy to say a 78 win team can go to 95 wins? It's not crazy at all if you do the things the Cubs did to improve. Using an outlier to prove a point is usually not a good way to argue, especially if you are only going to focus on the win-loss record without analyzing the reasons behind it.

Also, nowhere did anyone claim that it was "crazy to say." I think the ACTUAL statement was that "expecting" was at the "heart of the problem." Which, you know, is a pretty reasonable statement.

Cubs and Red Sox are very similar. Tons of young good positional players but lacking in young arms. Cubs leap was done by young players getting better and a big time free agent pitcher. Sox took same route that Cubs did and brought in Price.
