The Jim Hendry BandWGN

[ctcf]

Yea. I went there. He is the FREAKING MAN!!!!!!!!

 

WE GOT NOMAR WOOOOOO!!!!

 

And he managed to not lose Clement. Amazing. WILD CARD HERE WE COME!!!

[E.J.]

BEST GM EVER!!!!!

[Cubfanintheknow]

To those of you doubting Jim Hendry's ability to pull of a major trade (and you know who you are!!!):

 

On the menu---a fresh serving of crow. Don't push, don't shove, there's plenty for all who didn't believe in Hendry. He's a very quiet, patient, hard worker and he got the job done. WOW!!!

[ltb]

unbelievable

what a master.

[HenDog]

I was a Hendry doubter.

 

Wow...just wow.

[Omar]

:lol: Alex Gonzolaz is going to the Expos.

[Bono212]

I'm jumping on this one!

[WindyCity]

I have some serious heterosexual man-love for Jim Hendry. The man is a freakin' magician. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

I am still here. I am just wondering about the wiseness of this. Basically giving up Jones, Harris, Beltran, and AGonz for a 2 1/2 month rental. If Nomar re-signs, I may be impressed- but yeah, we still need a leadoff hitter.

[CheeseHead Cubs Fan]

I hopped on when he traded for Aramis.

We have a leadoff hitter, his name is Todd Walker. What Nomar gives us is a legit #2 hitter.

[Roast]

I Love Hendry

 

*hops on*

[hawkeyecub]

No, he's the worst GM in the game.

 

Just ask sulleymon.

[SweetHomeChicago]

I am dissapointed we had to trade Gonzalez to the Expos. He is a very good fielder and I think he could've come around at the bat. Boy will I miss him...

[cubscott34]

Much love for the master!! Now, LET'S GET TO THE POSTSEASON!!! :D

[Jon]

Dear Jim Hendry:

 

Thank you. You rock.

 

Gratefully yours,

 

Jon Davis

 

P.S. Get some sleep!

[Uber]

10 Lbs of Chocolate coming his way via me.

[ctcf]

Just because I can:

 

Hendry >>>> Beane

 

WOOO!!!

[XZero771679666304]

Hendry is the man. We get Nomar without giving up Clement, Pie, Guz, Brownlie or any of the untouchables. Brilliant.

 

I am all over this BandWGN.

 

Many doubted and spouted when the deadline passed. To them I say, enjoy your ample helpings of fresh crow.

[Jasper]

[cliche]

I, for one, welcome our new Hendry overlord.

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Hendry!

[/cliche]

[imb]

Pie or Guzman for Cabrera I think not.

[Banedon]

Pie or Guzman for Cabrera I think not.

 

Funniest thing I ever read. I knew Hendry would NOT do that deal.

[E.J.]

Okay, now that I've come down from cloud 9 a little bit, I'm wondering what we're going to do for a closer. Any thoughts?

[the sport]

This deal has all the earmarkings of becoming a longterm disaster for the Cubs. At best, they acquire yet another high-priced, declining, overrated player. Worse still, a 2 month rent-a-player. Even after the deal, the way this team is constructed, their is no gaurentee that they even make the playoffs. No gaurentee Wood and/or Prior are nearly as dominant down the stretch as they were last year. No gaurentee that Zambrano, Clement, Hawkins, and Farnsworth won't be toast by playoff time, due to over use. No gaurentee that Sosa and/or Alou won't be in another prolonged slump, as aging players are apt to do, especially as the year wears on.

Also, no gaurentee, but a VERY likely scenerio, as Garciapopup (no more Fenway monster for cheap fly ball HR's and thats the Sox fans nickname for him, by the way) declines steadily--scouts predict his range will be so lacking in a few short years that he will be forced to move from SS. Many scouts also feel he will have a Boggs-like drop-off in production if he ever changes teams. No gaurentee, but VERY likely that Harris will be a better middle infielder than Nomah, in just a few years. No gaurentee, but Beltran could still develop into a very good, inexpensive late inning RP.

And including Jones is proof that Hendry has a righty fetish. GAURENTEE, Jones was the ONLY lefty in the organization with the potential to be a superstar! On a Mets forum many fans are stating that they are thru with the Mets after their ill conceived dealing of Kazmir. I'm here to say that Jones has more projectability than Kazmir.

Jones for Mentk.? Scary to think what that Minnesota orginazation would do with Hendry's budget.

Speaking of budgets, Hendry has really built a house of cards, with all those millions tied up in old, declining players, while jettisoning a huge chunk of our inexpensive, talented future in exchange. With a payroll blouted with overpayed, old players, 2/3's of their rooster eligible either for free agency or arbitration, the Cubs will not sign their franchise first prime age FA. The Cubs have greatly diminished the likelyhood of a long run of success. Our lower level, minor league talent indicates the pipeline is clogged. We had less of it than most realize. FAR less after today. Hendry has fallen into the same trap that befalls most GM's--drunk with a little success. Many fans now giddy with praise may look back in a few short years and wonder how all those OTHER Cubs fans ever overrated Hendry so. They'll be saying how Hendry had a chance to build something really special and instead dropped the batton.
