Optimism reigned when the Cubs gave their a front office a full makeover last
offseason. New president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, general manager
Jed Hoyer and vice president of player development and scouting Jason McLeod
had built two World Series champions with the Red Sox. Hoyer and McLeod also
had revitalized the Padres farm system when they went to San Diego.

Because Chicago had focused on the short term in the last years of GM Jim
Hendry's tenure and were left with an old and overpriced roster, fans
understood that the club was going to have to get worse before it could get
better.

That's exactly what happened in 2012. Winning at the major league level
wasn't a priority—or a common occurrence. The Cubs' victory total dropped
for the fourth straight season, culminating with a 61-101 record that was
their worst in 46 seasons.

For all the losses, there was plenty of good news. Chicago's priority was to
procure some impact talent, and they found some.

The Cubs spent the No. 6 overall pick in the draft and $3.9 million in bonus
money on center fielder Albert Almora, one of the most polished high school
position players in recent memory. To restock an organization seriously
bereft of pitching, they spent their next seven choices on arms, starting
with Missouri State righthander Pierce Johnson.

A week after the draft, Chicago landed Cuban slugger Jorge Soler with the
biggest deal for an amateur in franchise history. Soler received a nine-year,
$30 million big league contract that included a $6 million bonus, then teamed
with Almora in the Rookie-level Arizona League.

At the trade deadline, the Cubs picked up righthander Arodys Vizcaino from
the Braves in a deal for reliable veterans Reed Johnson and Paul Maholm.
Vizcaino never would have been available if he hadn't had Tommy John surgery
in March, but Chicago was thrilled to grab someone who ranked among the
game's better pitching prospects before he got hurt.

Those were the headline moves, but there were several more. The Cubs spent
heavily on three international pitchers, with $1.5 million Dominican
righthander Juan Carlos Paniagua generating positive reviews and $6 million
Cuban lefthander Gerardo Concepcion getting shelled in low Class A and
removed from the 40-man roster in December. They imported Hanshin Tigers
closer Kyuji Fujikawa from Japan in December for a two-year deal worth $9.5
million.

Of the many trades Epstein and Hoyer made in their first 14 months on the
job, with one of their best coming three months before the season began. They
shipped Andrew Cashner, Chicago's 2008 first-round pick, to the Padres for
Anthony Rizzo, whom they had drafted in Boston. Rizzo was the biggest threat
in the Cubs lineup after they called him up in late June, batting
.285/.342/.463 at age 22.

There were more comings and goings in the front office, too. Vice president
of player personnel Oneri Fleita, who had been with the organization since
1995, was fired as part of a mid-August shakeup.

Minor league field coordinator Brandon Hyde was promoted to take over
Fleita's farm director duties. Padres scouting director Jaron Madison took
the same job with the Cubs. He replaced Tim Wilken, who took an expanded role
as a special assistant to Epstein.

That's a lot of change in one year. But Chicago believes it was necessary and
will be for the better.
