Is Jim Hendry gonna make a stupid trade?

[Balsa]

With the Cubs flailing away at crappy pitching, will Jim Hendry feel the pressure and make a stupid trade, vastly overpaying for some re-tread veteran and thinking that will solve the team's problems?

If the question is "Is Jim Hendry stupid enough to (blank)", the answer is always "yes."

I can't see how he can make a trade that will be that horrible. Unless he trades with a team in the N.L. cellar, he won't be able to trade anybody on the 40 man, and how many people of value left are there that aren't on the 40 man? Basically, he'd have a hard time absolutely getting fleeced at this point, because he's limited at what he can offer.

[Drew Doughty]

he's not going to make a dumb trade value-wise, but he's going to make a stupid acquisition that makes no sense (like shannon stewart and his total lack of power and even worse numbers against lefties).

My guess is that he'll pick up a player who can give us very marginal help, compared to whoever he replaces. And we won't give up anything that we'll seriously miss.

 

In other words, we'll be okay -- no terrible deals -- but nothing to make us significantly better. Complete Guess.

Marginal help is great help in the current state of affairs.

Can't argue with that.

We could make an interesting game out of this

[Little Slide Rooter]

I say we trade for Shea Hilenbrand from the Pads AAA team, put him back on the juice and hope they dont drug test him until Aramis is ready to come back.

[NCCubFan]

I think he will out of desperation to win this year and have a chance at saving his job.
