It’s like TINSTAAPP, except not limited to pitching prospects. For David Ross and the Cubs, it’s more like there is no such thing as a perfect philosophy.

Admit it, you thought the Cubs just hired Manager David to carry Theo Epstein’s water and pal around with Jon Lester and his surrogate grandkids.
