And yet there are people who honestly think he's not a bottom-5 GM.

Money can mask a lot of flaws. But honestly if you were going to build a team from scratch it would take a few years to get the team you want in order to play your way. How the hell do you ever do that if you change your way every year?

 

I could live with a few rebuilding years if we actually got someone in here who knew what the hell he was doing.

 

The odds of which are terrible.

I like how you say that like it's crazy.

 

It is.

 

A few good trades does not absolve him from the other absolutely brutal moves he's made.

 

He's hit and miss, imo. I'm willing to give him a pass for the time being for the recent Pac Rim efforts and the 2008 draft.

I do wish he would go back to running the minor league system only.

I like how you've never ever been wrong once. Ever.

Oh come on. Hendry is NOT a "bottom-5 GM"

 

No one is talking about a 'few good trades' absolving him from anything. He has built a team that won back to back division championships and going into this season - on paper - the cubs were still one of the best teams in baseball. Yes, he makes mistakes (Say, Aaron Miles) but bottom 5? Please.

There are lots of bad GMs out there. Baseball GMs, when compared to the heads of other billion dollar operations, are laughably bad.

He also was in a division the last two years where he spent a lot more money than anyone else.

Yeah, and he won. So he did what he was supposed to do.
