But if you make that decision 100 times, now you've leaked 100 wins or less than that.
100%.
You set your goal, right?
So our goal is to get the most wins out of the draft.
Wins.
It doesn't matter if the wins come from pitching.
It doesn't matter if the wins come from position players.
And then it's how do we put our draft together with all the signing bonuses, our pool, how good we think these players are going to be to help achieve that goal.
And oftentimes you end up with a pitcher.
Oftentimes you end up with a position player.
We have been...
objectively more successful with our position player selections, but that doesn't mean we're not going to continue to try to take pitchers and improve on those selections and their development because it's a team effort, kind of, as I was talking about.
I would say, first off, we always want to be smart with our decisions.
We don't want to be profligate by any means.
But on the other hand, Tom, whenever we've needed resources, he's been there for us.
So that's just not our concern.
Certainly that doesn't mean we're going to go and add $100 million to our payroll at the deadline.
But I think if there's a good move that's good for our franchise and good for the current and future state of the Cubs, I think the resources will be there for it.
Yeah, we'll talk about him specifically, but I will say that, as we've said before, the amount of players that get brought up in trade conversations is so much more than gets released publicly, obviously, to the point where probably every single player
that's worth his salt is brought up, whether it's with guys with us or guys with other teams.
