Your Thoughts on Hendry's Plan
CubinNY replied to TheDude's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Floyd is more of a LFer. He has only played a handful of games in RF. However, I could see Hendry placing him in RF. Floyd is the streakeist of streaky hitters. If the Cubs get him we will have to live with the prolonged slumps in between hot streaks. -
There's a reason five organizations rid themselves of Milton Bradley, and it's not because of his baseball ability. Dumb move. Five organizations? Montreal traded him because they were getting Zach Day, both were good prospects at that point. Cleveland traded him because they had Sizemore coming and he was arbitration eligible, in addition to his off field problems. Bradley's only been with 3 organizations, and this would be the only one to get rid of him for solely behavioral issues. Nope. I've already mentioned his behavior issues he had in Cleveland, his attitude problem in Anaheim with Mike Scoiscia are well known, and now the Dodgers are getting rid of him, BECAUSE OF HIS ATTITUDE and character flaws. It's likely that Montreal traded Bradley away for the same reasons, just that his incidents in Montreal aren't public. But hey, if you still want the guy despite of his thugish attitude, there's nothing else I can say. Or maybe just one more thing: Police have responded to the Redondo Beach home of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley three times this summer on domestic violence calls, including one instance in which he allegedly choked his pregnant wife, bloodied her lip and hurled a cellular telephone into a wall. http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/articles/1705006.html Bradley never played for the Angles. I think you are thinking of Guillen.

All I have to say is that Walker must be a real jerk or something for him to be treated this way. All he has done is play well for the Cubs and his reward is the signing of Perez to take his spot (if the Cubs land Furcal).
-
Where? I am from Niles.
-
That is exactly right Jon. Hendry seems to pride himself of loyalty. He pays for past performance. That is not a good trait for a GM.

Day games, Jack Brickhouse, Lou Beadrou, and my dad.
-
Is it really over reacting to a pattern that repeats itself? I agree with you that it's only November but Hendry is continuing to do things the same way he always has and is expecting different results. Examples? Todd Hollandsworth, Jeromy Burnitz, Neifi Perez, Antonio Alfoseca, etc. ad infinitium.
-
You base this opnion on what evidence?
-
How can you possibly say that given what happened after Nomar went down and the Cub were clearly out of the race. Good grief, indeed.
-
If Hendry is using Neifi to lure Furcal, he is a worse GM than what I thought he was. That is very bad business and stupid baseball. Shouldn't the lure to Chicago be playing for great fans in a historic ballpark and making crapload of money?
-
Some people call it insanity, some call it stupidity. Take your pick.
-
No, no, no wha! I need an intervention. I'm addicted to the Cubs. I want to rid myself of this addiction until the Cubs get better people running the organization. OO, your scenario is exactly what will happen. Dusty Baker, "I gotta' pick the spots to set Cedeno up to be succesful."
-
Of the players labeled malcontents, how many were considered malcontents prior to their arrival in Wrigleyville? None! Me thinks that Dusty breeds malcontentia. Wasn't it the same year that Bonds and Kent got into a cat fight that the Giants went to the World Series? No doubt. I'm trying to think like I think Hendry thinks. If you know what I mean :D
-
IMO, there is no way Hendry even thinks about getting Bradley, no matter how much some of us want him too. Try putting yourself in Hendry's position: 1: He has a young CF that might have been brought up this year if he had not be hurt- I didn't like the idea, but if one believes the media it was true. 2: he spent all last year ridding the team of supposed malcontents that Mr. Playersmanager couldn't control. I would be more than shocked if Bradley becomes a Cub.

Not if you are a Cubs fan. It's all relative brah. Bingo. It's too bad you didn't get that point when you made your original post. It would have saved me the trouble of explaining it to you. Double bingo. It's to bad you didn't end your post with "to me." then we wouldn't have spent time reading your ridiciulus argumetns why Busch stadium has more memories. -
The Cubs cannot trade Rusch w/o his permission until June and why in the wide, wide world of sports would Toronto take the Cubs trash for Vernon Wells?
-
If the person does I don't want him anywhere near a baseball team I root for. Long story short, no.

Football, hockey, & socer are cooperative sports baseball is not. However, the troubles with Philly have as much to do with the lack of a running game, an inaccurate passer, bad 2 and 3 wide recievers, and injuries as it does with any mythical chemistry. Back when Farve was a good QB if a reciever missed an easy ball, he might not see another pass for the entire game. Once again and for the last time, "team chemistry" is an empty phrase that is used to make excuses for poor performance. There is no evidence that team chemistry exists.

THANK YOU =D> This thread is overrun with overreaction. I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean. I don't think it is overreaction but reaction. Yes, it is a rumor. But this is a message board too. A message board's life's blood are rumors. It wouldn't be much fun to read, "Oh well, I wait and see what happens.", for five pages, would it?

All great points. I also add that Hendry seems to reward past production/loyalty instead of future probability. If this is true, it's almost like he feels he owes it Perez to give him another contract because he filled in so well. Loyalty is not a good trait for a GM.

Dang! The Cubs look like they had a near dynasty in the 30s. Cubs NL titles prior to 1918: 1876, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1885, 1886, 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1910. Must have been fun, though I bet people were pissed about that 20-year drought from 1886-1906. Its not to have all those winning years but it isnt like there were that many teams back than either. Only a Sox fan would talk trash about stuff from the 1800s. It is to laugh, In addition, I think at least a few of those teams where called "the White Stockings". -
Maybe Hendry is going "under the radar" with Giles??? Let's hope so. It could very well be that Giles is a main target, and the press hasn't gotten wind of it yet. Just to add to the hijack--> I don't understand why Hendry isn't all over Giles. He would be the perfect fit, much more so than either Furcal or Burnett.

Big Frank still has some value as a DH. Who in the AL needs a DH?
