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. |

Re: Fire Jim Hendry plz
What is Phil Rogers's obsession with trading Zambrano, who probably will be the best pitcher of this decade?

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. |
