Didn't see this posted, and it was made today. He's done a very nice job since being named closer, so this can only boost his confidence.

Good move, now Hendry won't have to/get get tempted to give a big contract to Soriano or Valverde.

I agree. He does still give up one too many walks and HBP's, but typically strands the runners when they're in scoring position. Not to mention that he has only given up only one run.

 

P.S. Lou, if he does end up getting too wild, PLEASE do not go back to Gregg - he was the MVP for our opponents this year. :banghead: Grabow or Guzman are good alternatives, but please, no Gregg!! :glare:

I doubt Gregg is on the team next year
