Suffice to say, from the chart above, it's clear a player's prime runs about six or seven years, from ages 26 through 32.

Which is where the entire starting lineup outside of Edmonds and DeRosa happens to fit?

Obviously, they're going to be declining by 2010. That's why having such a strong team this year is so nice.

Your team is aging in dog years and you're set?? ROFL ROFL

Let's not forget that Harden is made of glass, Lilly is 32, Dempster is 31 and has never done this before, and Marquis is trash.

You better savor this year because you guys are going to need a massive rebuild and soon.

32 is young in baseball...if they were all 37 then I'd be worried...

So the Cubs have 5-8 years before they need to worry about having a "rich" farm system...

Oh my, what are they going to do?!

It's almost like... these guys are in their primes?!?!?!??!

30-35 is baseball prime for most players.

Or 2009. I'm sure Hootie is right though, and Felix Pie will be the Ansa.

Yep I am a fair weather fan because I didn't want to spend 4-5 innings arguing about Soriano's arm.

and on SportsCenter when they show him gun the guy at the plate they talk about how strong his arm is ROFL

Exactly...

30-35 is prime years...you figure out a routine, you figure out pitching, etc...

Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, Fukodome, Theriot...they aren't going anywhere for the next 5-8 years.

And the Cubs can buy talent just like anyone else.

A farm system is nice, but have fun with all of those young guys and being in 3rd place for the next half decade.

A-Rod is having a down year, Jones can't stay off the DL, Berkman has slowed way down in the last two months and probably won't match his power numbers from last year despite a better lineup.

Utley, Bradley, and Burrell are all having career years. Funny how that tends to happen right before you decline.

C'mon, Peanut.

ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Jones was hitting .400 for most of the season...ARod got hurt for the first time in his career...Berkman is having another typical Berkman year...if you think players start declining at 32 you are insane.

maybe for the typical Reed Johnson type player...

but the Cubs have SUPERSTARS...

Derrek Lee, superstar.
Aramis Ramirez, superstar.
Alfonso Soriano, superstar.

These guys will be producing into their late thirties.

And their pitching is rock solid...

AND

unlock the Cardinals...

They are always buyers in the offseason.

You are insane if you prefer the state of your organization over the state of the Cubs organization...

They are STACKED.

Wouldn't those people be your superstars?

Big Z, Harden, Dempster, Lilly...

Or

Carpenter, Lohse, Looper, Wellemeyer

LMAO

Oh no!

and besides, Pujols is at least 35...so he should be slowing down pretty soon.

Hamas? You're arguing with Hootie again.

Just thought you should know that.

Hootie

08-08-2008 04:21 PM

and besides, that article is pretty fucking misleading...and dumb.

Ok, a guy hits him prime when he's 27 and slows down at...wait, it doesn't show them slowing down because they scale everything to 600 AB's...

That was reeruned after I went back and really looked at it...

Tristin is a homo, anyways.
