Fire Jim Hendry plz

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

This signing makes perfect sense. That is, if Hendry is looking to assemble a team that will NEVER take an unintentional walk and strike out 2000 times.

NOOOOO!!! I knew this [censored] would happen. It was so predictable.

LMAO, Szym is awesome.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

Hahaha.

I am trying to figure out who made worse offseason moves - the Dodgers or the Cubs. DFA'ing Macias has to count for a lot, I guess, so I'll stick with the Dodgers.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

The only real problem I had with Hendry before the offseason was that he hasn't fired Dusty yet. But this offseason he has proven he has no idea what he's doing. How do you not even CONSIDER bringing in Giles when his obp is exactly what the team needs?? Anyone who thinks Jones is better than Giles has no business even running a fantasy baseball team.

It's also obvious he has no plan. He refuses to trade Pie, who will be ready in 2007, yet he is going to give Pierre an extension. With Jones signed for 3 years, where is Pie gonna play? He doesn't actually plan on going with a Jones/Pierre/Pie outfield in 07 does he? Moran.

I bolded my favorite part of your post. It's very sad that Hendry did such a great job building up the farm system before he became GM. He obviously dosen't have a good gauge of major league talent.

That being said, Hendry went after Giles, but Giles took a hometown discount to stay in San Diego. Nothing he could've done.

Please tell me why you would want to trade Felix Pie?

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

I don't remember reading anything about him being interested in Giles, and I'm almost positive he didn't make an offer. If he was serious about getting him I think he could've gotten him.

And I never said I wanted to trade Pie, even though I'm a little worried about the Cubs rushing him and turning him into Corey Patterson Jr. But if Pierre signs an extension (likely) that will make 2/3 outfield spots taken for 07 when Pie's ready, and that's not including Murton who has a good chance to put up better numbers than Pierre and Jones next year. It would've made much more sense to sign Sanders to a 1 yr deal so there would definitely be an open spot for Pie. Or trade Pie (only way i'd trade him) and a few others for a big bat like Abreu, Tejada or Dunn.

And trust me, I know how to spell moron. I'm sure you've seen the picture.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

It was going to take too much to get Giles. He wanted to stay in SD. Sure he might have been a cub for something ridiculous like 3yrs/$45mil, but would that have been worth it?

Jones' contract will be movable if the cubs want, its not the end of the world. He apparently turned down 3yrs/$18 from the Royals. So there is demand for him. Same goes for Pierre, lots of teams wanted him this off season. When Pie is ready to play, they will make space for him.

Jones isnt the ideal player for the team, but signing him is in no way going to doom the franchise.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

All Giles news up here (Toronto) was about the Blue Jays, Dodgers and Padres. I don't think the Cubbies came up once in all the coverage I saw. Jones and Pierre...if I were a Cubs' fan, I'd want Hendry's head on a stick. Your line up is going to wear out opposing catchers.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

Yeah and Dusty too! Cubs/Sox smacktalk isn't even any fun anymore. The Cubs fans can't even disagree that they suck and all they can do is shake their heads and agree.

From a serious standpoint the Cubs should back up the truck and start over. Move Prior, Zambrano, Lee and Rameriez and accumulate every decent prospect on the planet. In a few years they may be okay. As it is they will suck this year, next year and maybe every year for ANOTHER 100 or so.

They are rich and will continue to draw while rebuilding and if ever there was a team in position to rebuild they are with their fan base. But with Hendry and Baker they will never ever go anywhere except possibly the middle of the pack if they catch some breaks.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

espn rumor central claims, via ken rosenthal, that hendry is willing to trade prior for tejada.

I expect all chicagoans to meet me at tribune headquarters if this happens to demand jim hendry be lynched.

What is Phil Rogers's obsession with trading Zambrano, who probably will be the best pitcher of this decade?

I couldnta said it better myself! Every time I read what this clown writes (about either local team) I wonder how he got a gig writing about baseball? He is totally and utterly clueless on all levels.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

I am getting really worried about this deal now. I don't want to have to burn down the tribune building, but I will if I have to.

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
 

Bruce Levine is apparently reporting that Hendry has officially made a trade proposal:

Cubs get Miguel Tejada, Erik Bedard
Orioles get Mark Prior, Rich Hill, Korey Patterson

Oriole fans are apparently falling over themselves hoping this trade goes through.

Dear God Rich Hill too?? Why don't the Cubs just throw in Felix Pie, Matt Murton and Aramis Ramirez? If this trade goes through I will SCKM, than I may become a Twins or Indians fan.

Hendry would have to throw in some money if he's including Lee in the deal to offset the added salary.

Gross. Way too much pitching being traded between the Pierre trade and this (if it goes through).
