he screwed the pooch when he failed to show any interest in guys like:

 

Magglio Ordonez

Carlos Beltran

Vladmir Guerrero

Miguel Tejada

 

Hell, even Ryan Church: .270 .367 .465

 

OPS+: 125.

 

Hendry tried to get Church though.

 

Was that really Hendry trying, or was it just the media and us wishing?

 

Bruce told us that Hendry was really interested in Church and had tried to get him, but the Nationals were "asking the moon" for him.

That doesn't tell us anything though. To Hendry, "asking for the moon" might mean that they wanted Izturis.

Jones chimes in on Juan Pierre as a player...........

 

Through June 14 last season, his first and only with the Chicago Cubs, he was batting .241, his on-base percentage was .283 and the Cubs were losing a lot. The fans there didn't like it and Pierre, in center field, and Jacques Jones, in right, heard about it.

 

"I loved him," Jones said. "He was awesome. He kept me going."

 

Screamed from the bleachers, shouted from the newspaper racks, the criticism hardly touched Pierre, Jones said. He finished batting .292, with an on-base percentage of .330, with 204 hits. He showed up early every day, played all but about six innings all season, and turned away from the babble, right through to the miserable end.

 

"I've never seen anything like it," Jones said. "I wish I had some of that."
