Former Boston Red Sox GM Theo Epstein is now looking to take the Chicago Cubs from the second division to the Fall Classic and ending years of suffering on the North side with a World Series win. He will have an even greater challenge then he faced in Boston as the 2011 Cubs won just 71 games and finished 25 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central.
His timetable for that pennant run is probably a bit longer than one off-season, but were the Cubs to turn from chumps to champs a strict adherence to Theology would be step. Epstein has already shown he knows how to find production at a discount cost with the signing of David Dejesus. It will take many improvements to turn the Cubs into a powerhouse in just three months but there is no one more capable than Epstein.
