REMOVE THE BENIGN TISSUE BUT BE SURE TO LEAVE THE CANCER: CUBS' PERSONNEL MOVES

The Chicago Cubs routinely have pretty good staffing in the minor leagues, particularly in pitching talent. Normally, an abundance in the minors can be translated, by either trade or player development, into Major League talent. For three years, the Cubs have frittered away the minor league talent (usually to the Marlins) without it cashing in as Major league talent. Who's responsibility is that? Oh, yeah, that would be the General Manager. So what do the Cubs do with their management team? Sure, they fire the President (whose job seemed to be sucking up to the commissioner) and they fire the manager (admittedly, not the answer to anybody's prayers but certainly not the problem.), LEAVING THE FREAKING GENERAL MANAGER!

Great Job, everybody gets fired except the guy responsible for the shortage. Now they'll just blame it on day baseball!
