I guess initially I felt like it was too much, and while I still do; I guess it isn't too crazy. However, I was hoping the Cubs could grab him, but not at that price. Especially after the Remmy and Hawk debacles.

This is partially how Hendry has such a poor name around here. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

To be completely fair, Hendry has made some moves that leave you scratching your head. I think what everyone is clamoring for is for him to spend the money he has WISELY. He has shown (Maddux, Blanco, Perez) that he doesn't do that often enough. While I won't burn him at the stake yet, he has a ways to go to turn things around. He also has a lot of time to do it in. A few extra million may not seem like much here and there, but it adds up. If it adds up to enough to keep you from spending on an impact player, then you're not very good at your job.

Why did Howry only pitch in 4 games in '03?

" Bob Howry joined the Indians' bullpen on June 29 following a slow recovery from surgery on his right elbow in 2003."
